Real world battery capacity
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2022 9:17 pm
Hello,
I'm iV 60 owner,
Latest trip was 287km (179mi), it used 94% of battery, excellent weather for EV trip, around 30C (85F) temperature, medium A/C usage, no strong winds or rain.
Average consumption was 16.4kWh/100km (3.79mi/kWh).
The above adds up to 302km (188mi) of real-word range.
However, my main concern is usable battery capacity i get doing all the math
Let's do them.
In km
((16.4x287)/100)/0.94=50kwh total capacity
Or, in miles
(178/3.19)/0.94= 50kwh
That's far behind the official specs of 58kwh usable capacity.
Any ideas? Should I take the vehicle in for battery inspection?
