I3 battery consumption rate

[ds666]

The figure published is 12.9 kWh per 100 km . I'm getting around 15 . Just wondered what other owners are experiencing ?

That sounds about right - a typical 75 miles / 120 km range on a 19 kwh battery capacity works out as 15.8 kwh per 100 km (equating to 4 miles per kwh which is what the app tells me I'm averaging)

12.9 kwh/100km equates to a range of 91.5 miles, which should be possible with a lighter right foot than I've got!

The German fuel consumption database spritmonitor now has an option to record in kWh/100km. Only a few I3s on there at the moment, consuming rather a lot as it happens (must be new owners enjoying the performance?).

I've been getting about 15 too. Looking at the app, that appears to be better than the "community" average.

NEVAAAAR...


i have to find a way to nudge it over 20..

[Greg_D]

just checked the i3 app and it is now averaging 21.7kwh/100km with an overall efficiency of 7% (i'm secretly quite proud to get single digit efficiency - lol)

Go me.......so much for my eco credentials!

Not a great deal better than what the Tesla Model S's are doing....

That's still about 3.5p / mile, roughly equivalent costwise to 170mpg, so don't feel too bad

My research suggests that consumption is approx 25kwh / 100km at top speed. So you would get a range of about 47 miles at that speed (and it would take you 30 min to empty the battery).

[skilly1]

My average consumption is 20.3

[ds666]

Blimey , mine's improved to 14.7 now . I'm off to cane its backside off to redeem my pistonhead credibility....
What's the average speed of those in the 20's ??

[Greg_D]

my driving is country lanes, single carriageway NSL and town

I can confirm that the max speed is 95

I've no idea what my average speed is, those sorts of thing are horribly corrupted by town driving

[ds666]

Caned it tonight, although it was busy on the way home. 11.1kwh etc what's going on?
My top speed is only 93 though so maybe those last 2 mph are very bad for consumption

[skilly1]

My average speed is 39mph. 4.5k miles done so far !
