[QUOTE="iub4pu, post: 23242, member: 8621"] Just purchased an Equinox EV 2RS. I am coming up on my first 1000 miles. I am reading about people getting 4.0 mi/kwh but I am getting nowhere near that. When I look at the lifetime number it is 2.7 mi/kwh!!!!! It doesn't seem to matter much what kind of driving I do (interstate, hwy, city) the best I've ever seen is about 3.1 mi/kwh. What am I doing wrong? I am a first time EV buyer. Should I have the dealership service department look at this? At this efficiency, my range for 100% charge is only 230 miles. I know there are many factors, but this is a huge difference from what I'm reading other people stating they are getting. Typical drive has been 80% highway/interstate driving, 20% city. A/C set to 68, outside temperatures have been 80 - 90 degree F, highway/interstate driving 65-75 mph, have not driven in rain, no real wind, almost entirely daytime driving. Would like some input as to what I should do, or what I am doing wrong. [/QUOTE]
