I had tried using range mode previously and didn't see much improvement if any. I've never been very clear on just what it can do to reduce power consumption without impacting utility. Like people say it doesn't run the heater as hard, but the heater is controlled by the heater settings and the thermostat, at least one would hope. So how can that be scaled back and still allow the controls to... well, control?
More recently I accidentally left range mode on or maybe an update turned it on and I'm seeing Wh/mi numbers as low as 250ish! That's on a trip with maybe half at 60 or above and the rest more like 50/55. But it seems to be pretty consistent. I still get crappy range. But with so many factors it is very, very hard to figure out what might be happening.
Bottom line is these cars will not provide the same sort of predictable fuel consumption as an ICE because there are so many things that draw down an EV battery, even when the car isn't on.
er, EV
