Are you measuring range from a full charge? (Say, 80 down to 20)? That can me quite different than the reading you are getting from, say, 30 to 50 miles of driving.

There is a no glass option but only on the upcoming standard. Here in the PNW, that extra light is gladly appreciated 🙃

Also decreases efficiency even at lower speeds because you are hauling more dead weight.

Are you plugged in while pre-cooling? Not sure if R2 has this capability, but ID4 can pre-cool and set charging to finish by a specific time, so it calculates the time needed to initiate the charge. In that way, your pre-cooling can occur while it is charging.

Thanks. Are your commutes at a constant speed? Generally, we get higher efficiency in the city, which includes both street to street and commuting on crowded freeways.

I'm seeing a good number of mi/kWh in the Best Long-Drive Efficiency leaderboard that are in the 3.3+ range, even if you ignore those with net elevation loss. This is encouraging to me because it represents some reasonable expectations for long-term driving, particularly on road trips. I have an...

I thought this was the R2 forum?

I haven’t seen your other posts. Could you expand?

I'm a complete PPF newbie. I have driven a silver ID4 for 4 years, 70k miles, about 80% of which is on road trips of over 3k miles each. I don't have a single scratch anywhere on the car (at least that I can see), and it gets washed at least once every two weeks. I am, of course, a heavy user...

Exactly. Me too on the off ramp. That’s one thing I will miss on R2 although presumably one should be able to drop out of self-drive mode and into regen simply by tapping the brake or reverse tapping the shift controller.

True, and that's why you only 'downshift' (engage regen) when you actually need to slow down faster than coasting would. Incidentally, I tried out the three regen options on the R2 during my two test drives and initially even the most relaxed version drove me crazy. However, in traffic and...

I would consider myself interested in efficiency, but anyone who has the muscle memory of downshifting will find the effort trivial, especially since there is no need for a clutch.

Theoretically you can save up to 2% of range by coasting instead of using regen. (According to one 2025 study, adaptive cruise control can cost another 2-2.5%). Of course, a skilled 1 pedal driver can simulate coasting by manually minimizing the regen when possible, but it’s so much easier to...

What is the Avg. Consumption for R2 in ABRP based on?

Sounds like a rough balance between the three, at least for most EV owners which essentially means Tesla owners (50% of EV market in U.S.). My guess is for a true SUV, there are other priorities as well.

For you?

This is all academic to me, since I don’t drive fast on road trips. I am a bit surprised by the difference between EPA and real world but it’s pretty obvious that for those of us who do drive slower, the difference will become less meaningful.

because range is only one of many factors for consideration?

Grand Gulch Mine is 86 miles, should be fine :)

I took my ID4 off-roading in Death Valley in June. Charging is easy, and nice roads nothing too rad. There are some tough roads just outside of the park.
