Good evidence that environmental factors make a huge difference in consumption. I wonder if we all experienced much the same in our fossil cars but didn't notice because we didn't have the ready data then.
Good point, in a gas car you just don't know.
Any action from the tms yet? ( displayed as battery conditioning if I recall )
Maybe you're right. I routinely have 100km less estimated range that you're reporting. I do use the heater (19 to 21°C) and the seat heaters most trips. My ambient temps have ranged from -20 to 10°C during the past month so that's very different from both BC and California. Perhaps I'm an outlier mostly due to location. It just seems like such an impossibility that I could expect a 100km + gain in the summer months to come. But I guess we'll see.
Nope, actually I was wondering too and specifically looked into the EV menu for it, but no.
Question, in the EV menu it shows that the range is xx miles less because of air conditioning. Does it do the same on yours for heating?
Yes indeed, when you shut off the heat you X more km
Sweet baby Jesus!
Exactly!! Thank you for sharing my pain. Finally. Everybody west of Ontario gets these numbers.
There's so much battery baloney flying around out there that it's hard to know, but if you let the battery run down and then recharge to 100% the "brains" should reset to acknowledge the full range of the battery. Remember, all these range numbers are based on driving and charging history so they are not absolute measurements of fullness or emptiness. Thus the "guess-o-meter" name.
Driving to 50% SOC from 100% should tell you the actual usable pack capacity (multiply kms *2 @ whatever Wh/km consumption), driving to near zero SOC will tell you if there is an imbalance in the cells ( indicated by an early turtle )
.
I find a simple thing like wet roads can increase consumption considerably, add a headwind even more.No everybody out west does not get these numbers, come on Wildeyed!!!
I drive 150km round trip for work. I would say 100km of it is at speeds over 100km/h, 45km is at or over 70km/h, and 5km is at 60km/h or less. I get around 370-380 on my GOM at 90% charge. I would say I average around 15-16 kwh/100km, without heat. I don't have many stop situations or lights to recuperate energy. After 300km of actual driving I recharge my car (GOM usually says about 50-60km left). I charged my car to 100% yesterday and it only shows a GOM of 410km, again based on my driving pattern. The fact your temperature is colder and you use the heater, seems like a reasonable difference to me.
One day I did a city drive to run some errands. Very low speeds and lots of lights. I did about 40km and only used 12.7kwh/100km. Now when some of these people in BC are reporting 490+, imagine what kind of driving they do and if they actually go by the GOM, or the actual km they drove. I laugh when people say they drive half highway and half city, but their whole trip was maybe 20km
I appreciate the information. Your travel habits are more similar to mine than some other folks. Because I live in the country all of my trips are highway, either 90 or 110 kph with either 100km or 225 km round trips with a wee bit of city once I'm at my destination. I regen the heck out of things as soon as I'm in traffic but that's a small percentage of my travel time. I have yet to break the 400 km recharge level or approach efficiency under 15kwh/100km. We'll see soon ( please God) when real spring weather hits whether weather (?) Is as big a factor as I hope. Maybe +10°, no heater and Summer tires will be the magic formula for success.No everybody out west does not get these numbers, come on Wildeyed!!!

It was quite windy in Vancouver yesterday. Approximate guess here, but I bet was close to 10% drop in efficiency due to the wind.
