Even though this is somewhat off-topic:
FWIW, in the 23k-and-change miles I've owned this vehicle, my average sits at 334 Wh/mi — though it can easily push upwards of 400 during the fall/winter (basically whenever the heat is on — which I generally try to avoid, but when the coffee's sludge…), while hovering around 300 in the spring and parts of the summer (pushing back up somewhat with the AC on — which again I generally try to avoid, but when the eggs are frying…).
FWIW, and I'm not just trying to be contradictory, but I'm at 280 Wh/mi over 27,000 miles on my 2015 S70. That's probably 3/4 local city driving and 1/4 long-range driving at 5 MPH above speed limits. Almost all warm-weather drives.
Does that count preheating, pre-cooling, and cabin overheat protection use, in that calculation?
The trip meters are only calculated while the car is in "Drive;" things like preheating, pre-cooling and cabin overheat protection are never calculated in the trip meter's display of Wh/mi — those losses are considered "vampiric" (to which my car easily loses 20% of its battery's capacity just sitting there "doing nothing," not even the aforementioned specifics — and that was before the relatively-abrupt loss of 9 kWh and the commensurate recalculation of percentage… but I digress).Maybe? I'm not sure how things are calculated precisely all the time. I do, occasionally reset the short-term counter for things like short-trip travel when the initial use starts at 900+ Wh/mieek: I'm assuming battery and AC are going overtime) or in the morning of an all-day trip. The numbers almost always come out < 300Wh/mi in the end.
