From Hungry to Efficient: When Did Your Macan EV Start Becoming More Efficient?

[byebye]

I would like to make disappear the km guessometer on the driver display …
In my previous TMS, I had never displayed the range in km, just the battery SoC. No range anxiety, just a reminder to charge when it’s around 15%.
Now, because of that, I’m always thinking about the actual range of the Macan!

I am really very happy with the efficiency and range of my Macan 4
I am easily achieving 17-18 KWh / 100 kms in city driving conditions, on 22 RS Spyder Wheels in Estoril/Lisbon - Portugal in December/January with temperatures around 10-15º C.

After reading this thread, I've turned off the auto regen yesterday and even though I just drove some very short distances, I already have the feeling of improved range (and besides this I noticed that I do prefer the behavior of just rolling). Will keep an eye on it.

I am very surprised by the coasting / rolling capabilities of this car too. It is such a different driving experience and something that dramatically changes the way to drive “efficiently”.

Most of us (northern hemisphere) got our cars late Fall or early Winter, and have experienced mostly declining temperatures. I am experiencing a major reduction in range in sub freezing temperatures, and my car is kept in a semi-heated garage.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong... not getting near to those values. I'll turn off regen and see if I notice any difference.

I have regen on fwiw.

You do have very few miles on so far. The other thing I wonder: from your average speeds, I assume your driving has been in a very congested area (or you have been idling an awful lot). Either way, if you have heat on, you're using a lot of heat for the distances you're driving so a lot of energy going to climate relative to movement. Except for a couple hundred miles of traffic, and maybe 500 miles at 70ish speeds, most of my driving is fairly rural roads between 35 and 55, probably ideal driving for range. Probably colder than where you are though.

I'm a very cautious driver ;-)

Yes, good point on it being mainly local driving with heating, music, etc all active too. It's also below zero here with snow at present. I'll keep an eye on it...

I just noticed the supposed 10 hours of driving yesterday too. I don't think I was awake for 10 hours yesterday, never mind being in the car for that time!
