As I said before iam not too surprised at all about its efficiency, it is after all a traditional looking SUV. Not disappointed, I wish it was better though.
However, just comparing it to 4Runners, Landrovers, Land Cruiser, Hummer...(true off road vehicles) will not be the case for I guess...
Compared to ICE powered SUVs its pretty good, and pretty good for its design, much like a traditional SUV/truck.
XC40 and Wranglers are basically ICE powered designs with electric powertrains thrown into them, same with my XC90 PHEV. Iam not familiar with the Etron design elements though...
Definitely every person's electric v gas, driving habits, traffic...etc. will effect their cost of operation. I wish my cost of electric is like yours, i would have made deposit for R1S long ago.
Lol, yes i kind of understand about driving a Toyota for 10 years - I still have one and it's 12 yrs old. The beauty of them is that's it's still running at 12 yrs. with hardly any problem other than scheduled maintenance. Iam/we lucky that we can afford a 70k+ car.
I was hoping for little bit...
Good range at 316 miles, it's however, not very efficient. A Highlander hybrid running regular gas can be economically less costly. It beats a regular ICE powered SUV/pickup though.
I read you are able to actiavte/deactiavte 4WD motors on demand - so does any one know are these range estimates based on 2WD or 4WD ?
Sry, disregard post, looks like someone already posed that question.
Assuming 130kwh of usable energy out of the 135kwh, with electric cost of $ .22/kwh, and assuming range 320 miles - that will be $28.6 to charge up full.
At 10000 miles a year driving = $893. 75
Some hybrids (Toyota) energy cost are cheaper, using regular gas. Energy cost relative to a ICE non...
I have been watching, contemplating R1S for a while.
My alternate choices - Volvo XC90 EV replacement due next year. Maybe Polestar 3, if it has a useable 3rd row.
My reservation with R1S so far is its "estimated" efficiency. A 135kwh pack with a range of 300+ miles isn't very efficient for a EV.
