      Driving in efficiency mode the car will be lowered to max level already at speed over 80 km/h, consequently lowering the consumption.
      Driving in comfort mode the suspension goes to the lower level only above 140km/h.

    When I see this high consumption it seems you always drive uphill :) a few weeks ago, I drove 570km with an e-tron, average speed over this distance was 121km/h! The consumption was 32,4kWh/100km. I drove a lot of time 160km/h and it was cold too. Another trip over this distance, slower and with temperatures around 5-10C with an average speed of 91km/h, the consumption was 22,7kWh/100km. Both trips with 19" winter tires.

    Hej Bjørn, I was my route from Larvik to Ølen (Rogaland) last saturday. At least one charger at each Ionity charging station was defective. It was the same in Denmark. It seems that Ionity has a problem. In my opinion, an issue should be resolved within 48 hours.

  • @XesserX

    Interesting video as always :-)
    One thing worth mentioning though, is that even with the low temperature, your consumption seems to be on the high side.
    I think it might be down to driving the entire trip in sports- and comfort mode.
    The E-tron will disengage the front motor in “normal driving mode”, as Audi puts it, which I guess could mean that it does not do it when driving in sports mode?
    Also when the car is in comfort, the ride height is higher than in Effecient or Dynamic, which adds drag.
    It would be interesting to see the test done in the summer and with everything in Effeciancy mode :-) I think you could possibly beat your old time by a bit.

    Just driven 200 miles today, eTron 55 sportback, 21" tyres, mostly on the motorway (UK) at 70mph, some cross country, 7 degrees, heavy rain at times, i got 23.1 per 100km. That level of efficiency happens frequently. Had the car set at 22 degrees hvac, no hypermiling, drafting or whatever, just driving motorway, A or B road speeds, not sure why your figures are so bad (temperature?). On the m'way I was driving in efficiency and cross country in dynamic. My trip computer average over 25,000 miles is 24.85 kWh per 100km. Not the best but nothing like the inefficiency you are getting. In -3 or -4 temperatures, on winter tyres, I was getting around 25.89 on a similar trip. BTW, I set off on the last 186 mile segment, car said I'd arrive with 3%, got home with 5% (started with 87percent - getting slightly more on arrival, than predicted at the start, is a welcome and frequent experience. Nice to see someone showing some appreciation for the fat eTron, it's a great car., despite being a 3 yr old design. Chargers need to be fixed in 24 hrs, IMO.

One week for the service field team to order supplies, travel, and fix. In pandemic times, I will say six weeks: add four more weeks for logistics delays.

  • @ChrVoigt
    @ChrVoigt 2 роки тому +1

    As the e-tron counts travelling time and calculates average (lower) speed if you leave the car switched on during the charging stops and even get it heated during that time - I guess this fully spoils your average consumption as the heated waiting time goes into the calculation.

    • @bjornnyland
      @bjornnyland  2 роки тому

      Not much. Total charging time was about 2 hours. If the car pulls 1 kW on average for heating, that's just 2 kWh total. Spread that across 1000 km and you get 2 Wh/km increase. A drop in the ocean.

    It's interesting that e.on, as a German charge point operator is directly selling power via debit/credit card cheaper than when using a charging cards,. In Germany, we see a lot of opposition to mandatory bank card terminals at DC chargers, arguing that nobody will use them as ad-hoc prices are always more expensive than when using a charging card. However, given the huge overhead of charging cards (which, in the end, usually get the money from the very same account linked to the debit/credit card), it might be that card payment at the charger is cheaper. Maybe Norway will - again - be an example for that.

    Ok, e-tron is thirsty - there is no way around it, but why to drive in Comfort + S mode? I've driven e-tron 55 for a year and there _is_ a difference in consumption when driving Comfort+S vs. Efficiency+E. I've even checked with OBDeleven that in the S mode the both of the motors are awake almost all the time, whereas in E mode the front motor is almost always asleep and is woken only when there is quite a much higher demand for torque/acceleration. Maybe it wouldn't impact in 1000 km challenge, but still...

Go pedal is very much tuned down and the car feels extremely sluggish. But still... I get ~2ish kWh/100 km less in E mode. Do I use it often? No. I didn't get e-tron so that I can drive economically.

      I would trade my LR Model 3 for an Etron anytime. The thing is, no one at our company (with an Etron) wants to switch cars.
      It’s so much more car. Bigger, more comfort, quality is way better. I don’t care about consumption. Never did before.
      If you care about consumption, go for the fiat edition Ioniq, or a Mii Electric.

      I don't know why but Bjorn's economy figures are a lot worse than mine over 25,000 miles. It seems other owners also have much better economy.
