What’s your Taycan efficiency?

Update, only because it has gotten better - not sure why since my driving is the same.

Perhaps a really dumb question - don't judge..."I was told there would be no math on this exam"...my app shows 2.6 mi/kWh, and the myporsche.com screen shows 0.4kWh/mi - so am I getting 40kWh/100 miles efficiency? Which I'd be pretty happy with (MY20, 4S, 21' wheels, NY weather, always driven in Sport mode)

Here is a video which discusses the effect of wheel size on range. It's not so much about the absolute numbers, using basic equations isn't likely to be all that accurate, but it's the direction and which wheel parameters are most important.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

4S, Peformance Package, 21" Exclusive Design Wheels, All Season Tires. Mostly do a lot of local around town driving, haven't been able to stretch it out above 110mph yet.

He left out tire hysteresis. There was a previous thread that talked about specially designed tires for EV's. If range was your goal the right sized and type of tires might get you an extra 15% in range.

Edit.
Hysteresis might be covered in his second point, though a tire designed for EV range should probably do better than his numbers.

70/30% city/hwy driving.
2020 4S with 20" wheels inflated at 39psi cold.
The numbers get a little better now that the weather is better.

Last time you were still at 34.8. Good progress over a short period of time. Temperature, I guess?

Seems to be a bit better. Weather is warming up. Gonna bang out about 150 mile ride in the morning. Should be mid to upper 60's.

That's awesome efficiency. Warmer weather I am thinking has something to do with improved range figures. You should have a 315mi range on avg, that's insane!
Currently a tie with @Joel Not that it's a competition.

Thank you all who contribute. I added all the recent entries and added a few more stats as well.
I added an average Range and it's really quite impressive, especially knowing Taycan owners are not likely to be of the hyper-miling variety.

Current Stats:
Cars reported: 31
Total Distance: 172,865 miles or 278,199 km (Equiv of 7 times around the earth)
Total Power Used: 59 MW
Average Range: 247 miles or 398 kilometers (assuming 85kWh usable)

Also added 2 more pie charts showing distribution of Models & Wheel Sizes
A static version here:

What size wheels 19/20/21?
Thanks, Ron
