MY efficiency at 5700 miles

[Jyz002]

We lose a lot of efficiency living on a hill but otherwise seem to be hitting the EPA range and more. Anyone else have similar experience?

One thing I noticed is that the “other” category expected range usage is higher recently maybe from vision park assist update?

wow. whats the secret? i'm at about 260wh/m right now. ~650 miles in.

Driving speed and weight carried in the car are the 2 big parameters which affect KWH/m both of which are under the user's control. Other external parameters like elevation, head wind, ambient temp outside, etc etc are not under the user's control so I am not considering them in this case.

Mild temperatures + light foot on accelerator + driving at or under the speed limit + local street driving = EPA level Wh/mile driving efficiency.

Shouldn't make much of a difference living on a hill. Because what goes up must comes down.
I've got a 5,000ft hill near me, It takes about 30 minutes to climb and the card would show 999 Wh/mi.

But on the wat down it shows -999 Wh/mi. And from ground level on one side to the other side is pretty much the same as if I had driven a straight line.

Look at the Energy Graph and see what it is telling you the reason for the low performance is. What is the average speed that you drive?

Mostly dropping kids off at school and short distance local driving. We took a few trips to ski which probably accounts for about 600-700 miles of total driven, with significant range loss. Usually we lose about 6-7% from elevation and more on “other”, and gain mostly from driving on energy screen

My lifetime average is 220 Wh/mi for about 14,000 miles.
Most of my driving is on 45mph country roads

I'm averaging 268 Wh/mile for 6250 miles, mostly local driving around 50 mph. I have 3 road trips totalling about 1500 miles at 75 - 80 mph that no doubt have affected my efficiency. Still when compared to ICE, I feel pretty good about my usage.
