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. 💙
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)
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?
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.

Oops! @@alanc286
@@alanc286 that's a great rule of thumb - thanks.
That helps a lot thank you 👍

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

I'm getting my new Enyaq 85x estate 74 plate.can you please advise me if I can watch TV/videos.films Netflix etc on it
@@ConradSmith-w8h yes you can. Have a look at this to see how ruclips.net/video/ocKcw8xYkN4/видео.htmlsi=e5OnznB3Tvj3oGFT

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 Thanks. 4.1 average over 10 months is good enough. I had 3.8 average over 34k miles in the 60.

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