Lately i've been starting out with 60-63 miles and thats with semi-aggressive driving, mainly city and a little freeway. But i usually drive around with Volt miles and just charge halfway up a little more frequently instead of full charges every couple days.



What numbers are you guys getting?


EDIT:

I'm getting about 40 miles with 70% left with 20% ~ 30% very aggressive driving.
Based on those numbers I'd calculate that I'm very lucky to get about 50 more miles with at lease 20% ~ 30% charge left. I don't use anything on the car by the way (heater, radio, heated seats, etc.)

My daily commute is about 30 miles highway plus 12 miles non-highway. In the summer, with outside temps at 70F or higher, at highway speeds up to 65mph, depending on traffic, with the top down, I was getting about 74 miles range. If I limited my highway speed to 55mph, I got about 84 miles range.

Temps now are running in the 30-40F range, and I'm now getting a range of 54-64 miles with the top up and heat on with a setting of 70. I modulate my speed, and use of heat, on the highway to keep the range above 54 miles so that SOC % on getting home is 20% or higher.

If temps get much lower, so will my speed on the highway and use of heat and the SOC level when I get home.

If temps are above 40F, I can drive without thinking of range limitations. Below that, I have to watch the meters more closely as I drive.

If I drive in the FWY early in the morning I get faster to my job but is a longer route and more consumption of electricity. If I drive by the streets it is a shorter route but I have to stop a gazillion times. Driving very slow in the streets I probably get on the 100 miles range; but who wants to drive like a granma? I'm OK even if I get 68 miles per charge. My commute is 33 miles a day.

I can pretty much DITTO this entire statement. 40 degrees is about that point when the battery usage changes. Although I have been getting decent mileage lately in the 30s but that is because I am driving normal (speed limits). This morning I got to work (22 miles) with 71% left. It was 32 degrees when we left the house. That works out to about 7 miles per 10% SOC. That is about my average in the summer except in the summer we drive it like we stole it. :burnout:

On a couple occasions I did mostly freeway driving between 55 and 75 mph, did 65 miles and end up with 20% SOC left in the battery.

I don't believe I can duplicate those results on really cold days. Even without heater use, the battery seems to have noticeably less range on cold days below 40 degrees.

I've been getting about 52-60 miles so far with mostly efficient driving n cruising at 70mph on freeway. I'm sure if I cruise at 60 on hwy n more gentle acceleration then my range would increase.
