Hi folks,
A quick few notes. I normally get around 135 Wh/km on highways in weather where I need no AC, heat, or open windows. Maybe windows are cracked a tiny bit, or low speed fan-only. LR AWD is rated for 150 Wh/km from what I can gather.
Temperatures in degrees C. Range in km. Because Canada. Numbers are for highway travel (net zero elevation change, i.e. there and back again).
I prefer setting it to HI because my hands get cold very easily. I can now sort of see what my preferences will cost me in terms of efficiency and dollars now. 20C is too cold for my hands, 22C is workable as long as I wasn't cold prior to hopping in the car.
My battery is almost always cold now, so regen is always a little limited until almost 40 minutes into driving. This hasn't been noticeable in driving behaviour in any way though, so it's not a big deal/ However, we'll see what happens once it gets colder
Hopefully this gives some perspective to new owners for this winter!
