Yes, I use the paddle 90% of the time as well.
It's a fun challenge to make it perfect.
That's my experience, too. Some inclines are too steep for LeftPaddle to hold the car. And sometimes, on steep inclines, the hold will be only too brief.
You can switch any time! While driving on the highway at 70mph. No problem!
I don't know if that is true I'm getting 480 all the time, Now are you charging it to 100% I think you should get way more or do you live in the artic. LOL
Well, Ontario so...
Suggest you run to low soc and then charge to 100% and monitor the consumption ( kWh/100km or Wh/km) Around 140ish Wh/km is good. The winter mode should not have any affect until very low temp. There is also a Torque pro app that supposedly works with Kona EV to check pack capacity , cell voltages etc, or do capacity check manually by driving 50% and checking kWh's consumed.
I was thinking of trying to "reset" things soon by running to near empty and filling to 100% with Winter Mode off. My consumption has averaged around 17 kwh/100 km.
A little high (170Wh/km) although it is still cool in Ont, I suggest as above you check the capacity of your pack using the manual method, of course driving 100% to turtle will be more accurate but a little chancy but would also eliminate the possibility of any cells that may be lower soc than the rest (early turtle more than 3%) approx
At what Drive Mode are you getting 17kWh/100km? Do you jump quickly when the traffic light turns green? Beats me why you can't get better than 170 Wh/100km.
The EV Puzzle youtuber in Norfolk is making some surprisingly good videos assessing his new Kona. I say "surprisingly" because he was such a fuddy duddy when early on---when he was still looking for HIS CAR---he reviewed the BMW i3 and failed completely to appreciate the many fine features of that car.
I've been on Eco since day 2. I'm no jackrabbit nor am I much of a speeder. I Regen or coast at every opportunity. Beats me. But if warmer weather doesn't solve it I'll be talking to my dealer.
I don't think that is bad for the climate you have had. Optimum would be about 15.5kwh per 100km and you will probably reach that in summer.
Yes, I've noticed a sound. Right rear. I believe in my case it's brake rust causing the rotor to scrub the pads.. My rear brakes sound like a gravel crusher they are so unused and rusty. I had a similar sound on our old Civic. Its rear brakes seized after sitting unused for several weeks. I actually had to remove the tires and smash the rust free with a hammer. The sounds I heard then we're very similar. Grindy at lower speed, higher pitched as speed increased then disappearing at highway speeds. Just my experience. Your milage may vary.
