I think it's fair to assume 3mi/kWh as far as that's the realistic efficiency in winter time with the heat on.
That's the information people new to EVs need to know - the fact that efficiency goes up when conditions are better is gravy.
- sokoloff 4y agoI've driven a Nissan LEAF for 8 winters in New England. On a 50+ mile average, I've never seen worse than 3.3mi/kWh and almost always see 3.6-3.8 in the winter and 3.9-4.1 in the summer. (The car has a heat pump cabin heater, seat heaters, and steering wheel heat.) If I saw 3.0, I'd be looking for the flat tire or a checkered flag.
- neon_electro 4y agoSounds like my experience when I had a Leaf with a heat pump. The Bolt does not, so it uses a lot more energy to keep the cabin warm.
