    After 700 miles in my ionic 5 I average 4.7 have you got it in auto mode? I’ve seen it at 5.2 more often it’s possible you don’t have something set right the eco mode seems worse than normal with brake mode 3 can drive it without using the brakes unless stopping or to get it even higher put it on auto mode then it will stop itself in traffic you just have to press a button for it to go again as the traffic moves, I sit in a hour of traffic per day. I’m waiting for it to drop with the cold weather but yet to need the heating on. Hope that helps Markah2007

    Good figures Chris I am assuming the majority of your 700 miles has been local and around town, you appear to adapted to EV driving quickly. With our PHEV in the better weather local and around town with the heating off we have been seeing just over 4 mile a kWh, this drops down to about 3.4/3.5 with the heating on, in the colder weather around 2.9/3.

    Expect a drop in the cold weather as your batteries will be up to 25% less efficient, on fast runs dual carriageways and motorway drag squares with speed so expect the faster you go the less the range.

    Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
