Anyone else tracking efficiency in km/kWh?

Discussion
1

Just wondering what kind of efficiency numbers others are getting. I drive an AWD GT Line 2 and average about 3.4 km/kWh. This is with a mix of city and highway driving. On the highway, I usually stay under 100 km/h. Is this considered bad?

That’s pretty bad. At 3.4 km/kWh, you’re getting about 2.11 miles per kWh, which gives you a range of only 162 miles (or 260 kilometers).

I average around 4.6 km/kWh, but I mostly drive on the highway. My commute is about 80 km each day for work.

I assume you mean km/kWh? In Europe, we usually measure efficiency as kWh per 100 km, similar to liters per 100 km for ICE cars.

For reference, my EV6 GT averages 25 kWh/100 km, but I mostly do long-distance trips and often drive fast on the Autobahn (150–250 km/h). My BMW i3 averages 15 kWh/100 km since it’s mostly for city driving.

Yes, that’s pretty low. I think most people average around 3.6 miles per kWh (about 5.8 km/kWh). Personally, I average that with mostly highway driving and the AC on all the time.

I’m mostly on the highway too, and I can’t seem to get above 3.0. I’m in Eco mode, with Eco climate, nearly max regen, and I drive non-aggressively.

Same here. The best I get is 3.2, but most of my driving is on the highway. To be fair, the area where I live isn’t very flat. Maybe those getting higher numbers are driving 2WD? I have AWD.

Even in Eco mode, it switches to 2WD.

My driving is mostly flat, with some slight inclines. If I add more city driving to my trips, I might hit 3.1, but the best I’ve ever seen is 3.4. My daily trip is around 18 miles—mostly highway with about 5 miles of city. I average about 3.0. I’m curious to see how much it drops as it gets colder.
