Macan 4 EV range

I do know the difference but I'm just not that pedantic.

No, I meant that was really good. It was an "I'm super impressed by that efficiency".

They look good figures and what I'd expect.

How chilly has it been may i ask?

Impressive figures. This is a snippet from one of the Kyle's long runs in 2025 Taycan RWD.

There's nothing wrong with a range estimate of 260 on a new car in the cold. The range is probably a maximum of 330 miles in ideal conditions (72 degrees, flat highway, 60 mpg). You take losses for cold and any time you start/stop/warm the car.

260 mixed use in the cold seems right. I'm sure you can get a bit more on a highway at reasonable speeds.

What range are you hoping for in the cold?

I checked this morning and the car has averaged 2.4 miles / KW with 65% highway and 35% local after 350 miles. Was expecting for 2.9 - 3+

It's now chilly in UK (even snow in parts) so your range will be hammered because of this. A cold battery (12C) will not deliver much more than what you are getting and if only doing short journeys it will have no time to heat up. Just as well the car has a larger useable capacity (95kW - 228 miles at your current consumption level) than the Taycan to hopefully give you 250 miles or so depending. In the summer months / warmer ambient temperature you should get up to 280+ miles or a little more.

Still a new car so the miles may increase but don't expect miracles and 100% forget WLTP consumption data as it is lab based / non-real world.

So the good news is you're probably seeing the worst range the car will ever get. 350 miles isn't out of the break in period, your car only recently activated regen, and the cold temperatures hurt.

I'd wager you've also maybe played with the car a bit. Accelerating, braking, etc.. more than normal.

I bet if you got on a highway and drove at 60-70mph for an hour you'd see closer to (if not over) 3.

Give it at least a few hundred miles before you get too concerned. The cold is always going to hurt range more than anything else. Freezing temperatures can easily account for a 35% loss.

You'll also see really poor efficiency numbers in the cold if you're doing short commutes where the car has time to cool and has to heat again. This doesn't mean your actual highway/road trip range is that low.

what the dealer told you is correct charge, drive and wait you'll see that after a while and a couple of thousands miles the data will be realistic.
