I achieved a range of 515km on a full charge on my Mahindra XEV 9e

Recently did a highway run of 546Km with my Mahindra XEV 9e and achieved a range of 515KM in 100% SOC!

BHPian purohitanuj recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

1. Did a 546KM run from Gurgaon to Fatehpur,Sikar and back.
2. Mode Used: Power Saving
3. Regen: Auto-regen 100% of time.
4. Air con mode: Regular (not Eco)
5. Temperature set: 25c
6. Style of driving: Trying to keep 90km/hr at all times. Only dropping when traffic or surroundings forcing me to drop speed. Overtook anyone who was below 90km/hr.

Got a range of 515Km in full 100% SOC(a bit better as I left with 97% SOC).

Chargers used on the trip

Keypoints:

• Started Early morning with 97% SOC

• Hit 250KM in 50% ( The route going has an incline )

Elevation Data below

250KM checkpoint

Reached Fatehpur with 45% SOC (~260KM from Start)

Charged at ChargeZone from 45 to 74% in around 45minutes. Car pulled 45KW from what was marketed as 30KW gun

On the way back, saw an XOBOLT charger with auto-charge function. I wanted to test it, as I was not able to register for Autocharge with ChargeZone earlier.

Hence I wanted to see that it was the Car or CPO at fault.

• Registered Autocharge in one go

• Charger was charging at 30KW. One Tiago was also connected at 18KW

Topped ~13KW again. The car reported a gain of 15%.

Hence, total top-up of 44% in the entire trip

Crossed 500KM mark with 47% SOC. Which means 3% SOC left.

Taking into account that I left at 97% SOC, this becomes 6% SOC left.

Hence, I crossed 500KM with 94% SOC and 6% SOC Left

With full 100% SOC consumption, I did 515KM

Last 200KM show efficiency of 8.1KM/kwh, thanks to the incline now helping out. Do check out the average speeds for this run as well. Due to later in the evening timing, the roads were little free.

Total trip ended up with 546KM with 40% SOC Remaining.

Few additional things I noted:

• Auto-Regen is the best regen for highways. It understands gradients, slope down, slope up, traffic etc and sets the regen accordingly!
• ADAS L2+ with Smart Pilot is amazing! It can drive on SH level roads with just centre dotted line. I was testing it in various scenarios, and it was working brilliantly. It even navigated a flyover with a downward 180-degree loop merging down to highway lane at 90km/hr. I have hated dumb ADAS systems in the past, but this thing has a mind!
• Met a Creta driver who was trying to race. Did not involve at that time; he chose another opponent, which was a Brezza. Brezza started to race post some instigation from the Creta driver. Changed from power saving mode to Default mode and overtook Creta while he was overtaking Brezza. Done and Dusted. Switched back to power saving and enjoyed the rest of drive with a grin!

Very satisfied with the car and it has now crossed 2700Kms. I have started to know it better. Will be doing all highway trip in this beast.
