EVs actually do better in city driving than they do on the highway. A little backwards coming from an ICE but thats how it is.How fast is everyone driving on the highway? I was really hoping that the ID.4 RWD was going to get 3.5 mi/kWh+ in mixed driving. Getting the AWD which will be even lower.
About 230 miles of range.Sorry I'm a little behind here. What does 3mi/kwh mean exactly?
Thanks for the info, I now understand.It refers to the efficiency. Battery is 77 kWh, so at 3 miles per kWh it is 230 miles as said above. You may also see people talk in Wh/ mile. So for example 300 Wh/mile equates to 3.3 miles/kWh (1/.3).
EVs don't have a break in period, however, "EV drivers" do! I feel as you start driving an EV more, you start learning the nuances for improving efficiency and over time your efficiency will improve.Does EV efficiency tend to have a "break in period" like a gasser due to mechanical factors? I think this is mostly driven by the engine break-in in ICE vehicles, but I assume there's some improvement as as tires, bearings/moving parts get some miles on them? or does efficiency stay fairly fixed in EV (not counting software updates) ?
Also what's tesla model Y dual motor real world efficiency in miles / kw? I was seeing around 4
