    Guess-o-meter is alive and well! Wind and hills can make a massive difference too.

    I use a calculation of 3 miles for each 1% of available battery (90% x 3 = 270 miles of range) in normal driving in my Enyaq 85X.

    • @enyaq_gorm

      that's low, but then the x will be less efficient as you're carrying that extra motor around. In summer I use 4.5 and in winter 3.8. As you can see today is 11 degrees and I got 4.5, not exaclty peak of summer :-)
      But knowing what your typical efficiency is will be key as you say!

      @@enyaq_gorm That’s 3 miles per 1% of battery, not 3 miles p/kWh. Your dash was showing 4.6 miles per/kWh. I normally get approximately 4 miles per kWh. I have had it as high as 5.2 miles per kWh, but that was on roads in mid Wales which were mostly flat or on a shallow decline. Rare I know. 😎

      @@shogunpxp glad you found it useful. That's the whole point of every video I make. When I was looking at my first ev these sorts of video were really helpful to me so I decided to pay it back by making some for the enyaq. 💙

    I focus on the difference between range and satnav distance… if the distance is climbing then that’s good…

    You forgot to mention that the mi/kwh reading is also very optimistic. I was getting 3.7 on my 80 when I tested the range. I managed 240 miles on a charge. This equates to 3.2 m/kwh. It seems you have to take 0.4mi/kWh for the real reading.

    Your new Enyaq shows 4.5 miles/kw, is that down to a more efficient electric motor in the latest model ?? What were you getting on your last car (I can't improve on 3.7)

    • @jeevshivashankar4264
      @jeevshivashankar4264 2 месяца назад

      Probably. My 80 would be doing around 3.9 on that journey

      I would usually get between 4 and 4.5 on my old one.

    Hey there
    I am looking at moving from my 60 to an 85.
    What miles/kwh have you been getting on your long drives in the 85?
    Thanks

    • @enyaq_gorm
      @enyaq_gorm  2 месяца назад

      I've not yet done a properly ling drive, the longest has been only 150 miles or so. I have averaged 4.1 m/kWh over the last 10 months. I am due to do a longer drive soon, heading down to England.

      @@davehill4831 actually looked closer today, mine is 3.9 since I got it in June but with the icy mornings this last week it's dropped to 3.8. No heat pump is going to make a difference this winter I fear.

    Seems like you've used about 7.5kwh for the 34 miles trip. Starting with 100% and ending with 88%, therefore using about 12% of the battery capacity, would indicate that your usable capacity is about 63kwh instead of 77kwh; assuming there isn't a case of high degradation, one of the measurements is inaccurate, the mpkwh consumption or the battery % is not linear, would you agree?

      @@claudiudumitrascu5687 I think it's the consumption that's more likely to be off.
