All in all, I have driven 58.6 km in 15%, bringing the average range to 3.9kms per percent.

Here are some recent observations from a couple of my recent drives.

I charged my car to 100% from 22% using the 7.4KW AC charger. Time taken was around 4.5hrs. Once the car was charged, I made two trips early in the morning. ODO reading - 658kms

In the first one, I travelled 28.8 km in 7%, bringing the range to 4.1 km per percent. ODO reading - 687km

.

Today, I did another 29.8 km in 8%, bringing the range to 3.7 km per percent. ODO reading - 717km

All in all, I have driven 58.6 km in 15%, bringing the average range to 3.9kms per percent. Mode was ECO, regen was heavy and AC was at 24 degrees with fan speed 2 at all times. Max speed the car went to was around 90kmph. The car was driven mostly on highways.

What I have realised is weather has a huge effect on range. If you are driving this car in hot regions, do put sunfilms and filters to use the AC less often. Although, I am not using any sun films to keep the cabin cool. Secondly, the way you accelerate also makes a huge difference. Keep an eye on the KW you are using. Constant speed is also a key factor in this. As I drove mostly on highways I clocked better range but AC is the real deal here.
