How about 304 km at 48 km/h for 75% or reported 60 kWh actual driving?

Are you basing that off the inaccurate miles/kWh statistic in your app or based on actual mileage divided by battery percentage change? The former overstates actual range in my experience.
Good point. Displayed 97% after last charge, then did a 10 mile local trip yesterday. Displaying 26% now. So 71% charge expended for total 181 miles, extrapolates to 255 miles for a full charge, which is 5% less range than that extrapolated using the PCM miles/kWh stat. Either way, it's an atypically high result for me (attributable to a long motorway journey where it was rarely possible to reach the usual speed limit).

In stark contrast, I established the bottom end of my scale yesterday- PCM reported 1.40 miles/kWh, which would give 117 miles from a full charge- due to clocking around 100 miles on Millbrook Proving Ground's handling circuits and wetted skid and dynamics pads (without even exceeding road-legal speeds.)

I have a 2020 Turbo and I’m lucky if I get 260 on a full charge and I live in sunny Florida. Wonder if I am a candidate for a complete battery replacement at no charge :)
I live in Florida as well but, 100% charge for me only reads 231 miles range. Did i get the cheap model?? LOL

Well it depends, when I go to the office and gym I get around 240 miles. When I go for a drive I get up to 200 miles. Almost lost a flight last week and got only 150 miles at 100+ mph.
Its hard to drive efficiently a Porsche Turbo of any kind.

Me too in Florida with just over 300 miles on full charge (PB+), so maybe you have the smaller battery, or just a heavier foot?

I agree with the comment - as long as your driving is similar, it's fairly accurate. I'm 2 years 20k miles as well - 2021 4s

i mainly mainly do city driving - in the off chance i have 100% highway driving - it drops FAST.

i had a trip to get my kid from an airport 88.3 miles away. Round trip = 176.6 miles. I meant to charge to 90% - but wasn't paying attention and charged to 97%

good thing i did - i got home with THREE MILES LEFT. 100% highway - cruise control at 77mph

Kicker - 24°f degree day (-4c) - that is NOT normal around me at all.

doing the backwards math, that's 185 pitiful miles - and i DO have the bigger battery - normally it projects 230+ miles

2 weekends ago i had a 60 mile trip - 120 miles round trip. Charged to 85% cool fall day, probably 60°f / 15.5c

got home with 11 miles left - after putting it in ECO mode for the return trip. again - 77pmh, cruise set

doing the reverse math (120+ 11) / .85 = a PITIFUL 154 miles on a full charge, in average temperatures. Mind boggling

Odd. Do you have draggy after marker wheels or something that will increase consumption at 77mph?

stock 4s. stock wheels - but not aero - they are 21" - the black and silver ones - still have my summer tires on for the trip a few weeks ago.. i don't live on these boards. i read them occasionally - don't crucify me for this -

i was under the impression (read? was told? imagined?) that EV's get better mileage/efficiency in stop/start city traffic since they can regen some and get a little added to the reserves - and coasting/slowing down uses zero power and regens some - and as low as their drag coefficient is - maintaining highway speeds uses more power than slower speeds over the same distance. Exact opposite of ICE cars.

i also don't expect the highest projected miles - i know where my LAUNCH CONTROL is and am not afraid to use it - and if you rev your car engine next to me/behind me at a light i'll hit triple digits without worrying

that said - those two trips mentioned above ARE driving like a grandma (with my wife in the car who gets car sick in a wal-mart parking lot)- so they were more efficient driving. i was completely flabbergasted about the 120 mile trip in moderate weather that almost stranded me. i actually took pictures and notes to come to this board to post details - and forgot until i read this headline. looking at a photo now i took while driving that shows 24 miles left and 13% battery, in range mode. less than 2 miles per %, less than 200 miles on a full charge

Is the avg.consumption (kWh/100 miles) reported by the App for that trip, consistent with that range?

i haven't spent much time with that part of the app before - very interesting. but no - it's no where consistent with what i got (for those two trips). I found the trip from Jan where i got home with 3 miles left - it's telling me- 198miles, 2.7 mi/kWh - as an aside - it's saying 48 mph avg - which is odd - 99% highway, and i don't think i waited more than a few minutes to retrieve her at the airport. two days later (charged to 100%, and slightly warmer weather) - going back to airport - 176 mi 2.3 mi/kWh (52 mph avg)

trip from two weeks ago- 159mi, 45mph, 2.6 mi/kWh. this was 90% highway with a little side roads so that feels more correct

my TOTAL per the app: 1075hrs driving, 21mph avg, 21513 miles, 3.3 mi/kWh- - what's interesting is thumbing trough the individual trips, very few were over 3.0mi/kWh - not sure how the math works with a total of 3.3 when none of the parts are at 3.3 or above... (odd - my highest average in recent months was a highway trip to Cinci and back at 3.1 mi/kWh)

is this consistent with others' app data?

My (App reported) average over lifetime of vehicle is similarly inconsistent with my individual trip stats- I do have some with lower consumption than the overall average, but they are the minority of trips and scrolling through the entire data set, my overall average looks high.
Additionally, the last time I calculated the equivalent metric from actual miles and actual % battery charge, I got a 5% worse result than the App's mi/kWh for that trip (as per post #17 upthread).

So I charged my car to 100%. Guess o meter said 222 miles. Today battery is at 51%, guess o meter says 112 miles, which would indicate about a 220 mile total range. Except… since charging, I’ve only traveled 101 miles per the odometer, so the real range is only about 206 miles…

Mostly high speed highway driving with air con going, so the 206 doesn’t surprise me. The continued overstatement of range by Porsche software makes me lol.
