EV Range highs and lows

My GoM was 323 yesterday after charging overnight from about 30% SOC. Highest I've seen it go so far (I leased my Limited on May 22). Not really that interested in seeing if I can break 300 actual miles. I think the most I've put on one charge is around 250.
 
Got my Kona EV 10 days ago and I just finished my first time starting out at 100%. Drove 260 miles with 53 mile range remaining when I recharged.. Drove about 100 miles at 70 mph with AC on and the remaining miles driving around 61 mph with the AC on half of the time. (I'm not running the AC on my morning commute). Average 4.9 miles per kwh. On my current charge I'm at 5.7 miles per kwh, driving mostly with the AC off (cloudy day today and not too hot). I always use level 3 regeneration.

Getting close, what percentage of your capacity did you use to accomplish that? and was it mixed hwy or slower
 
Hi everyone, so over the weekend we did another 500km trip from Victoria to Port Hardy. We left with 515km SOG and four people in the vehicle. We stopped at Campbell River to use a DC charger and arrived at Port Hardy with 13% SOG. I suspect the AC combined with the heavy rain and wind accounted for the decrease in efficiency. The instrument cluster indicated approximately 10% Economy and 90% Normal efficiency ratios. I was driving on the Eco mode all the time. Still impressed with the overall performance of the vehicle in general!!

On my current charge, I average 5.8 miles/kwh.
I started at 93% charge, drove 98.4 miles and have 219 miles range remaining. Based on my calculation 5.8 mi/kwh x 64 kwh (battery size) it would mean 371 miles on one charge.. That's over 593 km...20190710_080937.webp

Happy to see the C.R. charger is actually working with Kona, hope you left a positive check in on Plugshare

My driving is pretty mixed. All of my daily commute (17 miles each way) is on surface streets. Some parts at 25 - 35 mph with multiple stop lights, some on six lane roads at 50 - 55 mph, but also with lights. I may have had a couple of freeway drives or 20 miles or so during that time.

I didn't note the GoM when I plugged back in but I think it was down to 40 or 50 mi. So, I might have been able to go 300. My GoM range on a full charge has increased about 20 mi since then.

If the ambient temp is warm and no headwinds sounds like you could make 300 easily.

300 is easily possible.. May try to hit 300 miles, starting out at 93% charge.. 3 days of my daily commute so far on the same charge and I average 5.9 mi/kwh. I'm in Florida, so, no hills...I'm on track to 326.7 miles starting at 93% charge.. 77 degrees this morning, so no AC...I believe that 5.9 mi/kwh is the equivalent of 198.83 mpg on an ICE car (33.7 kw is the energy of 1 gallon of gas)

If you do, be the first and post here show accumulated mileage here :

I don't see me getting the 483 km on one run as there are too many hills around here, but I might get it doing a bunch of slow trips accumulating to that total. I will give it a shot once my charging at DCFC machines problem is resolved. I know an area that might just work.
Being in Florida there is another thread on Active TMS that you may want to input to:
https://insideevsforum.com/community/index.php?threads/active-tms-operation.5731/
Again on this one the weather is too mild here for much action of the TMS in winter and not hot enough in the summer months, but I am curious how it is working in other more adverse climates (hot or cold)

I doubt that my TMS system kicked it.. Mid 90's here but my car sits in a garage at work and does not heat up too much in the garage unlike cars that sit in the sun. Not sure how to know if it kicked in. It appears that the only way to tell is to check the AC energy consumption with the AC off?

On Ultimate trim I use the Audio/Nav screen, EV/Energy info/Menu/Electricity use- under Battery care gives the display.
Not sure if you have.
