May 2018

Looks like we're climbing further up in terms of efficiency as it gets warmer. We're seeing 5 battery temp bars all the time now, and one other interesting thing is that because we did fewer charges to 100%, the charging efficiency is now almost 10% higher. I wonder however if temperature has a role to play as well. Will see when it cools down again, I suppose...

Here's all the data for May. Will have to put it into a table at some point...

Charging Efficiency: 92%
Total Grid in:  129 kWh
Total Battery Out: 118 kWh
Average Temperature: 14C
Kilometers Driven: 988 km
Grid to road km/kWh:  7.66 km/kWh
Battery to road km/kWh: 8.37 km/kWh
Charging days: 12 (once every 2.6 days)
