"Winter" such as it is in the DC area made an early appearance over the past week or so. That means highs in the mid-upper 40s, lows in mid 20s to 30 or so. This was an opportunity to see the cool weather efficiency hit on the battery.
I commute from Potomac MD to downtown DC and back every day. 17 miles each way, 350 foot elevation change (downhill to DC). Mixed highway, local and city streets. Lots of traffic congestion.
On my way in and out, temps are cool (especially in the morning) and I am running the heat at 70 and seat warmer. No battery preconditioning. Making no effort at power saving (free charging at the office and hey, we get most of our electricity from nuclear here, so not hurting the whales), driving in normal mode.
Average daily RT efficiency with 20 ATs - 2.0 m/kwh. Really, not bad.
