Trip Energy Usage

742 Views 12 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Dave’sNotHere
Drove Lariat SR home yesterday. 50:50 mix of highway and city driving over about 10 miles.
My Trip reading on energy usage 25% external temp, 9% accessories and remainder driving.
External temp 70 degrees which I thought was perfect for an EV. Only accessory plugged in was an iPhone charging via USB port.
Amy idea why using so much energy for non driving?

Also seeing avg of 2.4M/KW over first 1.6K miles. Same 50/50 city HW mix with no heavy loads or towing. This has been trending up over time to avg of 2.6 over last 500 miles. . Not sure if this is due to my driving habits or truck break in. What M/KW are others seeing?

I think you’re getting great “mileage”. I’m averaging 2.4 mi/kWh over 6,000 miles of driving, combination city and highway in California. I’ve been driving fairly conservatively the last several months. No extreme temperatures here, but people want to go 80 on the freeways and I try to keep my max around 70, especially when on a long distance trip. The wind resistance eats your electrons at higher speeds.
