Last Saturday I drove the 17.5 miles to the golf course in my fully charged leaf and I drove it like I drive my Audi TT (faster than I should). Upon arriving it was raining harder than I expected and the place was deserted. I decided to drive home which involves a significant hilly section where elevation goes from sea level to about 500 feet. But then it appeared the rain would break so I turned around and went back to the course. At this point I started being more speed conscious and kept my highway speed at about 60 and used eco mode for slowing and stopping. On my ride home from the course the dash indicated I had about 35 miles left for my 17.5 mile drive and by the time I reached home I was on the final bar with 8 miles of range left according to the dash.
I'm still using the 110 trickle cable until I can sort out the politics of PG&E, electrical contractors, and the EV Project. I plugged it in and it took about 21 hours to charge which seemed about right since the battery was nearly depleted. Today I was able to see the Carwings report for Saturday and here's what it said:
Distance Traveled: 59.2 miles
Electricity Consumption: 15.8 kwh
Average Energy Economy: 3.7 miles/kwh
This makes no sense to me. If my battery was nearly depleted why was my consumption only 15.8 kwh? Anybody?
