EV range declined slightly

10

10

 

at 15mph?

 

That means your estimate for your particular driving circumstances is accurate.

Please tell us details of your drive.

My morning commute along the river includes some up & down, some stoplights, and a maximum speed of only 55 mph. The result has consistently been about 13 miles of EV travel regardless of what the estimate says... which goes down sharply after a long trip up north without recharging but comes back shortly after returning to the daily routine.

 

I am thinking of turning off my MID for a while, it can't be healthy to obsess about all these stats during all my drives.

 

I think the cold weather has had an effect on my Trip odo EV 10.5 WITH .9 EV left over. I drove 15mph(2.7 miles one way) to work friday, 15 mph to subway (1.0 miles one way) yesterday, then 15 mph to subway today on the way back I went 35 mph (1 mile)

 

thank you. 10 is consistant with what many people are getting. im getting 14 right now on the same commute i was getting 16-17 a few months ago. cooler weather and headlamps seem to be bringing it down, althought it's only 50's and 60's, i'm afraid of what 20's and 30's might bring. climate, terrai, stops and starts and driving techniques all play into it. if you feel like your batteries are deficient, find a reasonably flat area where you can drive 30-40 mph without many stops and climate controls off. if you can't get 13-14 miles of ev, i would go back to the dealer. although, i doubt they will do anything without any codes.

 

I can't get 14 miles EV at 30-40mph, 15 maybe

 

you can't get 14 but you can get 15?

 

mph

 

well, as i say, there are a lot of factors involved.

 

yeah, like hills (no hills here)

 

yes, with out hills and stops and climate controls and lead feet and extreme weather, i can't imagine why you would'nt get 13 or 14 miles. if only there was a way to test the batteries.

 

my batteries are fine

 

so you say, maybe i got more than you.

 

priuschat won't let me insert the french google maps link. (jurrasictest) don't know why. but I entered 2.7 kw to the battery capacity of the Leaf in this website. also put the PIP's curb weight in the Leaf also. and the results match what my batteries are getting.

 

you can find the link here:

A friend just sent me this link. You can put it your start and stop address and it will calculate your expected EV consumption.

I just tried my daily route from the previous post and it was spot on.

PS, the Volt is known as an Opel Ampera in Europe.​

i tried that when it came out in the other thread too. i think mine was correct to. what's your elevation change?

 

to work it's 220 m? I know it's 220 something

 

here's a pic

 

no, on the test. also, why does ampera show 16kw? i'm no good with metric.
