4.9 miles kwh. thats about the same as my 2014 nissan leaf which is a much smaller car than the korando. efficiency is more important than battery size. ps i charge my leaf on a thre pin at cheap rate. this does 90% of my driving and so cheaply.
the correct way to do an efficiency test is by driving how you would drive an ICE car the 'normal way' without constantly having your eyes on the consumption. This is how driving a car is pleasant, not bothering on what it costs you to get there. So show us the numbers when you drive in the 'real world', but that wouldn't give you the results you like telling your customers of course. Not blaming the car, all cars consume more than they want you to think.
I guess some EV drivers become addicted to being as efficient as possible, but not me for sure. I drive a Peugeot e-2008, not the range king as you know (about the same as this Korando, although you make it seem the range far exceeds even the generous WLTP estimations), but I NEVER sit in my car looking at my consumption. And it's certainly not fun in my eyes, having to control your foot and looking at your speed at all times. I do set my speed limiter (I don't like fines either) but otherwise I follow traffic, without bothering to 'control' acceleration.
Thanks for the feedback, but to be honest the findings of the video suggested that 324 is possible, not 400. The battery is actually 61.5kwh, but only 58kwh will be usable due to the BMS hardware.
Hi there! I'm afraid neither car has the UK 3 pin socket if thats what you're asking. In place of this it has a 12v 120w socket. Not sure if this can be replaced with the 3 pin accessory that used to be available though, would you like me to check?
Hi Dean, glad you took the plunge, it's a great car. Everyone's results will differ somewhat, however the results we achieved are completely legitimate. The conditions during the testing are noted, along with the accessories used. The majority of my real world testing with my family in eco and eco+ mode gets me about 5-5.3 mi/pkwh, but in order to achieve this I am driving with 'one pedal' and using the regen braking to do all my braking. Have fun!
