Pretty much my experience too. As soon as it got colder, my consumption moved from 2.7 to 1.9m/kWh. The battery was shedding miles faster than I was travelling - on a short journey of 11 miles, I seemed to use 20 miles of battery.For those of us who live in colder climbs watch out for the big range hit when you get to 2 deg C (35F) and below.
I managed a poor 1.8 miles / kWh (normally 3.0) this weekend - snow - on a distance of 32 miles. At SOC 85% I had 204 miles range, pre-heated the car to 22C (whilst on the PMCC), set off, AC 23C (ECO mode), heated seats & wheel on, max 60 - 65 mph, range mode engaged for most of the journey, final SOC around 145 miles (can't remember exactly).
If it weren't for the PB+ I would be getting really anxious as to how quickly the energy runs out and setting AC off isn't really an option (window demisting).
Are others seeing similar range degradation (I assume so)?
Here's hoping Porsche are keeping up with Mercedes (???kW battery, new tech), Lucid (114kW battery), others with real world range of 500+ miles in the near future.
I put it down to battery inefficiency at lower temperatures and extra heating of stuff - obvious really. Even so, the degradation was more than I was expecting.
The car's performance is just as good though - love it!
