Actual consumption under cold conditions

[Mats]

Living in the southeast of Sweden at the Baltic Sea and happily been driving my 4S Cross Turismo MY22 for more than a year now. Sad to say, I haven't had the opportunity for much of longer road trips so far. Hence, mostly charging at home. While doing some 3-400 km trips during normal weather conditions (spring, summer and early autumn) my consumption is around 2,2-2,4 kWh/10km. On these trips I normally set the speed control 10 km/h above speed limit ranging between 80-120 km/h depending on the roads.

Yesterday, I drove around 350 km (100% charged and preheated at start) in the same speed range but in a temperature ranging from 11 to 17,5 degrees below zero. The average consumption turned out to 3,0 kWh/10km. I guess fair enough considering the circumstances.

That consumption is INSANELY high!
Absolutely not fair enough... ??‍

Sorry, my mistake and already edited. Should be per 10 km.....

Haha, well, the unit should be kWh/100km...

Had a drive in about the same temp range last week. Started with cold battery, no preheat. First 30 minutes resulted in 50 kWh/100 km average consumption. Elevation gain about 500 m during those 30 mins.

The Taycan sure has an apetite for electrons, if pushed a bit during cold weather...

Well, of course you are right. However in Sweden, we also have another unit that we commonly use for road distances and fuel consumption. One mil equal to 10 km. Hence, me messing it up in a quick written message. BTW, on returning the same route today in roughly 0 degrees, the average consumption was 28 liters.... no kWh/100 km.

Greetings from the other coast of the Baltic Sea
Data from last 7 days below. Outside temp: -6 -7 degrees. Driving mostly in the city.

I noticed the consumption on my RWD Saloon to be much higher in the last week with temperatures below zero. I've been lucky to get more than 300 km from a 100% charge.
