Maybe because of Brexit they gave us UK drivers the crap batteries :D.

I am getting 176 miles at 85% charge, I have only charged to 100% once on purpose and I got a range of 206 miles, I am putting this down to the outside temperature, fingers crossed it will improve as the weather gets warmer here in the north of England.

I’m not sure, the above is showing my total usage, so perhaps some of it is from sitting in the drive trying to figure out all the features? But even on drives with 25-30mph average speeds I can only seem to get 55-60kwh/100mi ?
Just went and checked the loaner Turbo I've got at the moment, numbers are still looking better than yours, and I've only been using it for short trips, no preheating or anything like that..

Thanks so much for this, what’s the mileage on that vehicle? Guess I’ll be calling the dealer in the morning.

Another thing that would be useful is if you look at individual trip statistics rather than the total. Definitely look at a longer trip, maybe 30 miles or longer and see what you are averaging with calm driving.

also if you can put the battery temperature in your information display and monitor that. Because that’s a big part of the impact of your range.

thanks, this is from a 28 mile drive I took earlier. Steady driving in normal mode, some traffic, battery temperature started at around 12 degrees c and was 22 degrees c by the end.

Interesting, your battery started off a little cold. Have you ever tried doing a pre-conditioning well plugged in and then doing the same test to see if it makes a difference? Also do you have any elevations in this drive? Elevation changes will kill your range. Unless the ambient temperature was at zero Celsius or below that us still less efficient than it should be. I’m sorry if this has been covered above but what is your tire pressure and tire size? And what kind of tires?

What was the temperature outside?

I have never gotten numbers anywhere near as bad as you've posted (and I do mean even in the ballpark, over 10k miles driving). I only see 45kWh/100mi + on very short, aggressive drives around town. Maybe there is something messed up with your or UK batteries? Bizarre stuff.

You might be right, reading the numbers people are getting on here, it makes me question if I actually have the 93kW battery......:crying:

I have less than 1200 miles on the clock, maybe it will improve over time.....

The drive was pretty much completely flat, very little elevation. I have 21 inch wheels, 2.7 bar on the front tires and 2.6 on the rear.

the outside temperature was 6 degrees Celsius. I’m really not happy with the consumption at all.

Mine started off at 200 and worked its way down to 160 so maybe not.

For reference at 6 Celsius I'll get 30-37 kWh/100 mi even if I haven't preconditioned the car. I've never had a 28 mile trip even close to the inefficiency of your car.

I'd definitely harass Porsche about it. Something isn't right.

I managed to get 36khw/100miles once by rolling down a big hill then driving at mph on a main road at 35mph for a few miles.
Porsche dealer asked HQ about it and they said nothing wrong just adjust driving style!
There must be some kind of battery test they can do?
