I'm a first-time EV owner, so pardon my ignorance regarding this topic.
Yesterday, I left my house with a 90% charge, and my SR Model Y indicated I had 222 miles of range. During that trip, I drove a total of 107.1 miles, at 241 Wh/mi, and 26 kWh consumed, and I ended up back at my house with 89 miles of range left, meaning I drove about 107.1 miles, but lost 133 in range.
I assume this is normal, and that the 222 miles of range is merely an estimate of what I might expect in perfect conditions?
If it matters, the trip was mostly highway driving, and I generally set the cruise control between 72 and 75 mph. In addition, the first half of the drive was uphill, so I saw much higher energy usage, whereas the drive home was on a decline. I had the HVAC set to auto at 72 degrees.
