I will be heading up from Denver, CO to Cheyenne, WY over the Christmas break with my 70D, and I'll give you guys a report. It's supposed to be pretty cold then (17F for the high), so should be good info.
Sort of. I am mostly concerned about road trips during the coldest MN/WI days in which you'd average 65MPH. Thus, in your experience, on one of those cold days (ie around zero degrees) what be the longest distance you'd want to safely drive in your 70D with a 100% charge?
While this was at approx 70 degrees, I am expecting to make the same drive next week in colder temps. 162 miles exactly of driving yielded the following stats. 52.4kwh used at 324Wh/mi. 193 rated miles consumed. We had range mode on, and drove through some rain. Autopilot was set to 72 for most of the trip. I will post more information, and hopefully we can get an idea of what colder temps will do to a 70D. FYI, net elevation gain was just under 500 feet.
In real MN winter you should be very pessimistic about range.
Here in St. Louis this week, I've found that my range is affected greatly by the height of the water over the road.
Of course, if the water gets high enough, your range depends on whether you want to travel with the river's current, or against it.
Here in Boston we finally have dipped into the 30's and I've been off since Christmas as my company shuts down this past week. With only small cold battery trips, my wh/mi are in the 400's. I've been almost thinking something was seriously wrong until I briefly turned off the HVAC last night during an errand, and my usage dropped right down to almost exactly Rated Range. This scares me a bit for the long cold winters we have in the northeast. I don't crank the heat, but I'm also not one to keep the car like an ice box in the name of efficiency. For those that have done a few winters, is an average in the 400's normal?
I think in very cold weather and if you keep the cabin comfy, say 72+, your going to see an average in the 500s+.
I drove across 80 and then down to 70 to denver, tempts as low as -9, cabin at 75 with range mode on and saw 370,s most of the trip. Speeds at 60-70, I always made it between SC with about 10-15% less than the starting est. on the car.
