Anyone getting more than 2.8m/kwh on the Macan GTS EV?

Has the car for a month. 1400 miles travelled and can’t get more than 2.8 miles / kWh.
usually it sits at around 2.6 (I’m using the display to show miles/kwh since last charge so it should only show the data from each charge).
I’m driving in comfort, mainly around town and never above 70mph.

seems pretty low as I’ve seen YouTube reviewers saying they average between 3.1 and 3.5.

Remember you are UK based and ambient temps aren't yet where they need to be.

3.5 is a fairytale IMHO - Florida / California maybe.

I suspect you aren't far off what you can expect - IRO 3.0

Wheel / rim size will also be a factor - 22" will be the worst.

FWIW, according to the French configurator site, the Macan EV Turbo gets slightly more range than the Macan EV GTS. All else being equal, WLTP based, the Macan Turbo gets 590 KM and the GTS gets 585.

Turn off regen and see that number climb by 0.2-0.3 in my experience

Yeah that sounds more like it.

My Taycans were similar - 4S 20" aero rims 3.0 over 20K miles and GTS ST 21" Spyders 2.9 over 18K miles.

Winter was around 2.3 and short journeys (winter 4 miles) 1.8.

Efficiency so far is not a Porsche EV strength.

I routinely get 2.9-3.2 miles/kWh in my 2024 Turbo Macan EV

I would suggest wheel size and summer/performance tires are the core reason you're seeing that level of efficiency with the GTS - while the performance level of those stock tires on a GTS are certainly sexy and impressive they are vastly overrated for 99.9% of any likely street driving - so unless you're routinely tracking your GTS or auto-crossing it and care about shaving 0.1th's in various measured performance metrics - some all season less grippy tires will most likely provide improved efficiency - rolling resistance and it's impact on range is a thing…

my Taycan lost range with summer performance tires which was entirely restored when I switched back to all seasons…

That’s good to hear that it’s not unusual.
TBF, it still gives me enough range for our regular 200 mile round trips.
