Actual rated wh/mi

[jcanoe]

I have an August 2020 Model Y long range and often get 220Wh/mi combined if I’m driving genherly in good weather. Todays round trip half highway was 214. Though I do a lot of road trips all highway and drive pretty fast, so my lifetime is 256.

What about climate control? How do you have the Climate Controls set?

AHA! thanks for examples and info. My Lexus 014 RX hybrid gets 30-32mpg @ $4.90/gal. My 7 mo old MY calculates out to 125mpg. But given my electricity costs of $.32/KwH(home charging 110A circuit) I figure it’s the equivalent of a 60mpg car so twice as good as Lexus. Hawaii kind of expensive.

But at least in Hawaii your speed limits are a lot less than the mainland. That should improve your overall miles per kwh - thus more miles per charge! I myself have noticed a BIG difference when I drive 77mph vs 82~85mph.

Can't speak to "honesty", but personally I'm fine with 200 miles between supercharging. It matches with when I want a break and usually takes 20-30 minutes, which is enough of a break.

That 200 is the magic number between 85% SOC and 20% SOC (in practice). Gives me a 20% buffer and doesn't overcharge so the battery stays healthy.

I just wanted to know what the solid line meant

I know this is an old thread but I thought I would answer one of your questions about the EPA 280Wh/mile. That is not the efficiency of the car on the road. That number includes the energy wasted coming to your house and going through a charger into the battery. The car uses ideally about 230Wh/mile from the battery. But another 50Wh/mile is burned up charging
