Which leads me to a two questions for Recharge owners.
When I start the car in power mode, it will display on the driver screen (especially in the city) a crazy consuption of 23 l per 100 kmk (i.e. 10 mpg) for the first minutes, then slowly going down but recently did 10 kils and it was still at 16 l per 100km – i.e. 14 mpg. It kept decreasing though but 10 kils starts being “something” and clearly this was not accurage consumption. This is while driving rather normally but in the city with red lights etc.
I often do short 3-4 kils trips, and if i do these in power mode they will totally screw up the average as the app will think that I did consume 20 liters per 100 km over those 3-4 kilometers.
Does it also do that to you guys ? Some one cares to check his first 5 minutes consumption in power mode ?
Second question. I have now 2200 kils on the odometer. I have a screenshot of my first 1350 kils like 2 months ago in a previous version of the app which only showed fuel consumption, stating I did 1.8 liter per 100 km (235 mpg). Since I drove 90% in hybrid mode and did recharge all the time, it’s possible this was accurate as most of my trips were at 0 consumption over those 1350 kils.
I am now on the odo at 2200 kils, having hence done 850 more kils since the screen shot I took showing 1.8l per 100 over the first 1350 kils. Now, in the app, it says I have a total average consumption over 2200 km of 6.4 liters per 100 km.
Yet I still do most of my trips in hybrid and with a full battery. Probably tried the power mode a bit more in that second part but still imagine going from 1.8 l over 1300 kils to 6.4 over 2150. It would mean a totally crazy consumption of like 16 liters or so for the last 800 kils.
As luck would have it, I had reset my manual trip odo shortly before this screenshot. And the TM now shows the last 885 kils, and gives me (also…) a 6.4 liters per 100km over those last 885 kils. So it’s impossible that total consumption would have the same figures since first 1300 kils were much lower. Anybody else have the same value in the app and in the manual TM in the car ? I find it a weird concidence and was wondering if the bug was that it shows the manual TM value instead of the global consumption.
Edit ; Just meant to add that all the above also means that it gives me a rather light estimated fuel range of around 500 kils when it’s full, both in the car (Driver screen) and on the app.
