Hopefully to build up a set of data for real life driving range and efficiency, I thought it might be interesting for EV drivers to submit data for journeys or groups of journeys they have made. The idea is to record the miles driven for a 100% charged battery down to 20% with a little extra information such as temperature, weather conditions and driving style. The reason for chosing this approach is that many users will charge overnight to 100% but are unlikely to want to let the charge run down to below 20%.
For example, a recent set of journeys I made in a 40kWh Leaf with 4 trips of 20 miles on A roads and the rest in short journeys on a day when it was around 8 deg gave 97 miles going from fully charged down to 20%. That's probably all the detail needed but it might help collate data if it was presented in a comma separated format so it can be imported into a preadsheet. So for my journeys it would look something like this.
Leaf,40,8,2,97 - where 2 = mixed driving
For other driving situatons 1 = motorway 3 = city 4 = sporty
So, if you think it would be interesting please start adding your 100% to 20% info.
Thanks
