Kona EV 300 Mile club

It's helpful to charge to 100% periodically to balance the cells.

 

2019 limited. Original battery. Verified needing replacement. Started at 80%. RT to stores on Cape Cod MA. Virtually flat and Light wind. 70-75 degrees F. Dry roads. About 80 miles on highway with speed limits from 40-50mph. The remainder in congested traffic

 

Waw! It's over any expectations.

 

As I posted in another thread, my move earlier this year to Hilo Hawaii has done amazing things to my range. Instead of the 285-290 I was averaging in San Francisco I'm now getting 320+ and recently got a reading of 332. I attribute it to a) lack of high speed highway driving -- just not many opportunities for that here -- and b) the car loves the 6.5 mike downhill drive from my house in the hills to places I go for shopping, errands, etc. Typical round-trip shows about 5.5mi/kwh or thereabouts.

 

These are all impressive and everything, but have you ever circumnavigated the entire planet 1.75 times in a single day??? It appears I had one hell of a commute on May 30. (Pretty efficient for the speed I must have been going though!)

 

And apparently going across a couple oceans barely impacted your efficiency. Impressive!

 

This is the highest distance I have seen and remembered to record. 361 potential miles at 100%. I don't necessarily agree with the recommendations but this was in the owner's manual:

I charged from 15% to 100% all in one session and this is the screenshot that I took at 100%:

 

I feel an unnecessarily strong urge to create a new thread for a 500km club.

 

I recently had occasion to charge my car to 100% for the first time in some months and set a new record: At full it showed 342 miles of range. I'm genuinely gobsmacked.

 

Does anyone know what are the variables that go into the algorithm that produces this prediction?
For example, my Mitsu i-MiEV Range Remaining is based on a simple moving average of the consumption over the past 15 miles (24km) and turning on heating or cooling decrements that number by ~20% and 10%, respectively.
The Tesla has eight different numbers for predicted range (each different) but does identify what they're based on.

 

I just charged up to 100% for the first time since owning the car. 2019 Kona.
Below image shows the result. It Actually said 604KM before I drove to work and took the picture.
also shows the car could do with a good dust..

 

Wow! Are you that legendary Granny who only drives to church on Sunday?

 

Hehe, thats GrandPa actually.

 

I have a 39.2KWh Kona (they sell only this variant in India, no 64KWh here)
I usually average around 11-12KM/KWh. So i can manage to extract 400-450+kms on regular running around in the town.

occasional 13-14KM/KWh if weather is favorable.


On highways i have managed around 450+kms, sometimes more than 500kms if weather is good.

The highest i have ever seen was on a short hypermiling test run, 19.2KM/KWh.
