Second charge at home. This one overnight. for the actual efficiency,
charge 1: 17.49 kWh delivered 43 miles driven = 2.46 miles /kWh
charge 2: 32.18 kWh delivered, 80 miles driven = 2.49 miles /kwh
Life of car = 123 miles / 49.67 kWh delivered = 2.47 miles per kWh
Could not see the actual kWh received. Can calculate using battery percentage. Battery was at 56% to begin charge 2 , ended at 80% = 24% x 112 kWh battery = 26.88 kWh received
Charge 2: 5.3 kWh “extra“ kWh delivered but not received = 16.5% loss seems very high
Charge 1 loss, using the more generous numbers was 1.49 extra = 8.5% loss.
This is a TON of vampire drain on this second charge.. More than just heat loss during charging.
in calculating driving range using kWh received over the two charges.
charge 1: 16 kWh
charge 2: 26,88 kWh
tofal = 42.88 kWh consumed to drive 123 miles = 2.86 miles per kWh x 112 battery = 321 estimated real range
321 miles real range / 516 EPA = 62% of EPA range.
I’m hoping this gets better over time. Again, I am probably driving more spirited than I will on trips. With this number, it means I will have to stop every 200 miles or so to recharge. Was I expecting this number? No. I was hoping for something higher, but is the reason why I have repeatedly said, I need a car with 500 miles / 1000 km range to use as a trip car. If I purchased a car with 300 miles range = 186 miles of real life range and in going from 20-80% between charges means I would be stopping every 112 miles.
