Stoaty said:Tony, that's a pretty big difference from the EPA estimated 82 miles (which is very close to the 2013 Leaf EPA estimate of 84 miles at 100% charge). Any thoughts on why it outperformed the EPA estimate?
I dunno, but keep in mind none of the EPA's tests are at a steady speed and none of the average speeds of any of the test cycles are at 100 kph/62 mph. http://priuschat.com/forums/other-cars/67235-car-driver-truth-about-epa-city-highway-mpg-estimates.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has some great details about the EPA tests for ICEVs.Stoaty said:Tony, that's a pretty big difference from the EPA estimated 82 miles (which is very close to the 2013 Leaf EPA estimate of 84 miles at 100% charge).

Thanks! Watching now. I believe I'm viewer #2.TonyWilliams said:http://youtu.be/TPsgnI4vRoQ
Nice video, and impressive range from the Spark EV - almost 100 miles (92.8 mi on the odometer, 3-5 miles on the DTE indicator).TonyWilliams said:
That is a very good point. If they did not do the several things to conserve energy that they did, I bet it would have been the recommended those. ie. a prioritized list they go through. Seems like this would be in an article or manual somewhere.Nashco said:<snip>Since Tony already had the HVAC (and other power consumers...?) turned off, the only thing left was radio.<snip>
Radio Power Down: Select to sets up the battery level to show the pop-up screen associated with the radio power down. Select: Off, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, or 25%.

Ya know, I have no idea. The car ran great. No issues, perfect weather, and it SMOKED the LEAF on the same course.
Best guess is that the motor is optimized for one speed, and we were at it. That would also explain the discrepancy over EPA.
The Rav4 EV only did 113 miles for the EPA, and yet at 100km/h it would go over 150 miles.
