Real consumption / range / efficiency thread … post your Macan EV performance 📊

[PaoloPix]

Nice results @Diego!
Also just found a consumption test of Audi Q6 (same battery + PPE platform). Interesting to see how different the Macan EV's results will be.

could someone test the consumption that the display writes at constant speeds 10-120-140-160 km/h like the Audi Q6 test?

Hello all

Only to wake up this post:

Car Macan 4
Tyre Size:21 Michelin
Temperature 17 ° C
Wind : No
Altitude change 0 Home roundtrip ( cumulative difference in height 1350 m)
Road conditions Wet/Dry: DRY
City 12 km Highway:0 km Wide mid-mountain road around a lake: 84 km
Average Speed km/h 54
Average consumption 15.4 kwh/100 km 4.04 Miles/ kwh

Predicted range (most of time not reliable) 520 km
Simply active ventilation
Battery temperature : start 17° C , arrival 24 ° C

With my previous Taycan ct4, i would have consumed 17.5 - 18.5

Real range will depend on how you drive.
130-150 km/h 26kw/h
50-70km/h 14kw/h

but there is a factor that is very important: only 85-90% of your initial charge is usable. No one charges at 0%.
So at 26kw/h the MAX REAL WORLD distance with 95kw bat charged at 100% is 328km
For me this is the real range of my Macan EV Turbo

sorry to be out of format but i think it is important

yes, but this is highway real range: so you drive 3 hours, stop 30 minutes and so on.
I know, some people have no problem driving 6 hours without needing a rest...
I can’t drive more than 3 straight hours without risk, so it’s fine for me.

Today I tried my first mountain road test. Went from 750 meters to 430 to 1450 to 320 and back. (292 km) and I pushed to test all the mode (from Normal to Sport+). It’s a road I know since I’ve done it at least 200 times in the last 3/4 years.
Happy for the numbers I got

 

[Diego]

And this is the range (absolutely ideal and not true) after the first leg (152 km) and a fast recharge at 11 kW (I don’t need it but my customer has a big photovoltaic system and so…):

Around 550 km at 100%

Wow, very impressive figures, thanks to huge regen?

 

[Diego]

I turned off auto regen and only use pedal brake regen (found that it gives me a smoother ride)

Which feature gives more range?

IMHO and for my driving “style” the pedal brake regen gives me more range.

As a true nerd engineer, I play with automatic features constantly - my wife tells me to stop because she says I am much smoother than anything our Taycan Turbo S does automatically.

We are picking up our Macan Turbo Electric next week at PEC ATL and driving about 5,000 miles back to Oregon - we will learn quickly how she compares to the Taycan. My money is on my wife telling me to turn off the automatic features - she owned a Hemi Road Runner and preferred manual transmissions when I met her 54 years ago!

It's always more efficient to coast as you have to consume more energy getting back up to the original speed than what you gain with the regen due to heat loss. Where regen *is* useful is when you have to brake, as the energy used to slow the car would otherwise be lost, but then you get regen anyway when applying the brake pedal, so no need to have the auto regen "on".

On a highway/motorway, you should always have regen turned off.

 

[Diego]

At the moment I'm using the auto regen only going downward (I live at 750 meters and to get to highway/main roads I have to drive 30 km down) but I turn on and off based on my driving style. If i have cars ahead i prefer to simulate something like a "one pedal" drive (something I used a lot on my Tesla but here the brake effect of the regen is limited so I have to be careful and integrate the brake with brake pedal). This is getting better results than when I keep the auto regen on regularly (first day of ownership of the Macan). The only con is that I have to sacrifice the only diamond button we have to control this function.

 

[krissrock]

did they release the EPA range of the 4S ?
i see in an Out of Spec Dave video, he's listing the EPA range of the 4s, the same as the turbo (288) and Base Macan at 315

update: it appears the press event for the base and 4S was just a couple days ago and that info was released to the journalist there...
CarAndDriver article was the first i've seen to say anything about the rear steering that wasn't glowing. THey said it felt "unnatural" ... which i can believe it'll take some getting used to.

but i was really hopingthe 4s would slot somewhere in between the 4 and turbo... like maybe smack dab at 300... but it's still all good

 

[TomekGnomek]

TBH so far I haven't been able to go below 20kwh/100km.
Macan 4, 21" wheels, mix of city/highway driving, temps 5-15C.
