The summer is magic for range!

[Raphie]

No summer yet, but today 15c and my range is increasing significantly. Can’t wait what will happen at 22c.
What’s your experience on the range sweetspot? What was 26kWh/100km @ 5c now has become 21kWh/100km, if it drops to 19kWh/100km when the temps increase further, that would be awesome.

Nearly 7.500km driven with my CT4s, also in the Netherlands, but likely driving it harder than I perhaps should as it is a new car (testing is fun)....nowhere near 21 let alone 19kwh/100km, however my car was delivered mid dec 2022 (mid winter), so good hope it would come down a bit when the outside temp rises

Yep 23.2 kwh/100km for me at present down from 25.9 last week

Temperature is definitely having a significant impact (for the better) on consumption as it's beginning to warm up around here, though plotting the data doesn't yet show any significant trends.

X axis is the timeline, from 1/14/23 through today; Y axis represents absolute values (see legend). My most economical trip is down a mountain, and last weekend's higher temps had a huge effect - from a previous best of 28.6kWh/mi (17.9kWh/100 km) to 25 (15).

…. I think it might be more fun to drive as such to get the least range …… especially in summer when the roads are dry and the tire temps are good……….as the saying goes ‘Drive it like you stole it’. …. Ok a bit childish

Should be relatively easy to get the efficiency you want in warm weather. I'm in Florida where temps are averaging upper 60F to 70F (21C) since I took delivery of my GTS one month ago. Car only has 1,100 miles so not fully broken in mechanically, regen started at 395 miles, 20" Summer Pirelli tires. Lifetime average is 19kWh/100km. The catch is that you will have to drive sanely to be that efficient. I'm not driving for efficiency but I'm not street racing either.
