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

[Yves]

today is much better limited elevation gains - clear weather - cool temps - and speeds where we're not holding back - current segment doing 33.6 kWh/100 miles…which vs. yesterdays 38-50 kWh/100 miles

this car is totally different range monster on the segment of HWY from Albuqurque to Winslow, AZ…I think 260-270 miles could be done.

Yes at 5000ft air is thin … hence out of spec is capable of getting these insane numbers

I just did a 435km trip on my first day of really using the car (Macan Turbo, 22” exclusive design wheels):
- about 250km at steady 160km/h - consumption was 37kWh/100km (as I recharged before the return at a highway station for half of this stretch I could get an accurate reading)
- about 100km at steady 140km/h - this section combined with the 130km/h section consumed about 23kWh/100km
- about 25km at steady 130km/h
- the rest at lower speeds (40-100km/h)

Most of it is highway with barely traffic, so little to no regen.

Weather: 20degC in the morning, 32degC at noon. Little wind. AC set at 23.5degC all the time.
Terrain: flat (desert).

I started at 100%, after 310km (basically everything except the last 125km @160km/h), it had dropped to 13%. I recharged at a 180kWh fast charger back to 80% (it kept 180kWh up to about 65%, then started tapering off, reaching 100kWh at 80%). Reached at office @35% SOC. Now letting it charge at a 11kWh charger here in the office for 2.5 hours before it’s time to go home (125km - this morning it used 30% battery for that - all 130-140km/h highway).

Overall consumption for the trip is around 28kWh/100km.

Overall driving impression is amazing - quiet, smooth. The active lane keeping is less accurate than on my Cayenne GTS ‘23 (maybe I need to check if I can make it “more strict”).

@ketje78 so an actual range of 100% to 10% of around 375km and 300km if driven from 80 to 10% at 130 - 140 km/h that is great and good info!

Some more datapoints. Just arrived home.

Temperature: 30degC, AC set to 23.5degC.

Departure@61%, Arrival@30%.

The first 10km were about 80-100km/h. After that 125-140km/h for around 90km. The last 25-26km were more traffic (a short jam and a some slower moving traffic on the highway interchanges, and in the end about 4-5km off-highway driving to get home).

I took 2 pics of the stats - one just before getting into slower traffic. One when I got home.

Seeing some much nicer efficiency numbers.

I'm starting to wonder if there's a longer break in than anticipated? I get regen shows fully active relatively quickly, but it does seem efficiency is improving for people as they get more miles.

I get my car in about a month and do the same 145 mile drive 2-4 times a week. I'll be sure to keep logs from day 1! Curious to see how long it'll take to reach max efficiency

IMHO, it is rather the drivers who become more efficient, after a period of running in their driving style of an EV, not the car .....

 

[dgkhn]

I just wanted to address the thought that short trips are inefficient energy-wise. I really don't think so: below is the only driving I've done today, temps 46-50 F. Home to haircut to supermarket to home. Implied range of 371 miles in this type of driving. (Note yesterday was even better. Maybe because it was warmer out).

 

[Yves]

Well I’m starting to think there is a big difference between 4 and Turbo, though according to WLTP there should not be … though the average speed on the post of @dgkhn was low and on very short runs I too can get very low consumption …
