TRUE range

Can anyone tell me what is the REAL range for the EQA ?
I can see many different opinions so wonder if anyone can advise what they get from their cars

I've only had my EQA250 for a bit over a week, so I'm still learning - and still on my initial charge.

From my brief read of other similar threads on this forum, I think your question will have various answers according to the type of motoring (urban, country, mainly flat, hilly, etc.) and climatic conditions. In Europe, I suspect cold weather will have a big influence, whereas here in Australia I think the other weather extreme will require quite a bit of energy.

Short answer to your question is, no. No one can tell what the ’real’ range of any EV is, like EQA-S.oz says any figures are only relevant to the individual situation. E.g. I am In Fife Scotland (lots of hills, and I do a lot of short trips) and during the 6 months I’ve had my EQA I’ve had a best reading for a trip of 4.2 miles/ kWh (total range would be about 280 miles 100% to 0% battery) in warm (for spring here) weather. Maximum figure so far covering 3.5 miles mostly downhill is 6 miles/ kWh. A worst of 2 miles/kWh (hauling a trailer weighing 1500kg on a winter day) giving a total of about 130 miles range. Average over the 6 months is 3.3 miles/kWh according to the car.

i pick up mine this week! Very excited…. A very long wait and minor spec adjustment.

It will be interesting to figure out the Australian drive experience.

a few road trips coming up
1 the great ocean road ( Melbourne to Port Campbell)
2 Melbourne to Sydney

im based in Melbourne.
I had a 237 km trip yesterday. At the start, SOC 91%, range indicated 434 km. End of trip SOC 32%, range left: 147 km.
Average consumption: 15.5 kwh/100 km. Average speed:54 km/h.
Trip consisted of about 180km on highway - 90-110 km/hr and the rest in city/urban setting. Air temperature - 23-27 degC, Driver only - no passenger.
It looks like if one is starting from 100% SOC, a 400 km max range is possible.
Interesting insight on range, pkaus.

A contributor to this Forum who, I gather, is awaiting delivery of his EQA has asked me about a "high pitched sound when accelerating at high speeds". I'm not sure what speeds he's referring to, but as the only freeway-type motoring I've done in an EQA was on an evaluation demo, my experience is very limited. I'm fairly sensitive to 'annoying' noises but I didn't notice anything of concern accelerating up a reasonable slope at about 100-110kph. I suspect road surface variations and wind could mask such noises to some extent, but it's an interesting aspect of the EQA which I hope doesn't prove disappointing as I do more 'higher speed' motoring.

Any comments from other EQA owners - or is this better initiated as a separate thread?

Another long drive today - Gold Coast-Sunshine Coast and back. 80% + on highway. Started at 99% charge with indication of potential range of 464 km. Ended with 363 kms with 70km range left and SOC at 15%. Driver + passenger. 400km range achievable. It appears that ancillary consumption is about 8km/hr of drive (40km over the 5 hour drive).

I get 400 k with careful driving (eqa 350)
hi, I drive 40km a day including 20km on motorway(100km speed) and 20km(30to50speed) on city area (EQA250) with heater on, heated seat on , music on and its winter in Melbourne..i am getting 375-380 on 100% (D - Auto Mode), I charged 80% twice a week. so again.. real world range its all depend on how do you drive , climate condition, road condition and traffic, weight on car etc ..
Thanks
