First Road Trip Range Readings

[jbrichar]

Embarking on our first road trip, San Diego to Sedona. Charged to 100%, range says 460 miles on AGT. Nav says first charge in Yuma is 195 miles away. Dash says I will have 185 remaining at stop. 80 miles difference in total range. I get it I will never see 460 but this is kind of silly and misleading.

On second thought, maybe it just knows how I drive..

The miles remaining when using navigation is very accurate. The miles representing SOC is based on EPA. Change your battery SOC display to percent and never look at that number again.

Enjoy Sedona - The EA charger there has the best view of any in the state.

This has been discussed here many times. The advertise range is under ideal conditions and slower speeds. This makes sense because at higher speeds the drag is significantly more. EPA calculations are done at under 50mph! Now, those EPA calculations really need to be revamped but for now that’s what we’ve got. What was your average speed during this trip? Was there a lot of elevation changes? Did you accelerate hard when entering an on ramp? Try the trip again but maintain the slower speed. I know it’s hard with all that horsepower but that will give you the range you desire.
