Done 2 longish round trips....from Bolton to Rugby
139 miles each way... that = 278 I was running at around 4.8 mkw... I started with a 94% battery...and returned with 15% left....the car tells me I have 55 miles of range left...gives around 353 miles of max range....thats pretty good. Temp was around 22deg on return leg with aircon on.
Range
Done a few long journeys in my new E4orce Advance on 19inch rims. 278 mile round journey - started at 94% ended at 15%. Overall range around 350miles...delighted. Temps when tested 22 deg, return leg had air con on. Average reported mpkw 4.8 - carefull driving around 60mph with cruise control on. It will be interesting when I hook up a caravan next month - will report back then.....I am hoping for around 1.8mpkw at 50mph fingers crossed.....

How the hell are you doing that?Good question. Mine has got worse since I had a Body control module fitted. I AVG 3mkw on my journeys. I have never got above 3.7 even in perfect conditions. Mine is a 2 wheel drive 87kwh. Well done if you maintain that.

Short journey B roads around 50mph 20 degrees C just returned 5 miles per kwh Evolve+ AWD 20` wheels. B/ECO drive modes.
Ambient temperature is critical but also driving style, compared to an ICE car a different throttle application is required. The torque is instant, understanding that power delivery can be rewarding in traffic.
Additional observation, at full charge regen is limited approx. 95% its back to normal
Assume a fully charged battery cant be charged further so the energy is dumped
Without regen the miles/kwh is noticeably lower.
I remember reading on the internet there is a percentage SOC when regen restarts, not exactly sure when that crossover happens.
On short journeys on a full battery it could skew efficiency perceptions, I initially assumed I was in the wrong drive modes.
Question to the higher mileage owners, does the efficiency change during the cars life?
Expectation is that from new they are as efficient as they are, there is no drop off with age and efficiency doesn't improves after a "running in period" to hit a sweet spot.

I'm still doing circa 3.7 mi/kWh with warm weather and efficient driving, always that number since day 1 and I'm already 1 year and a half with it, from my experience performance is exactly the same, no noticeable break in for me.
Although in the case of the Ariya's motor I wonder if near brushes replacement time the efficiency will drop a bit and then recover after the replacement, I suppose that depends on the sweet point Nissan has programmed the car to ask the driver for brushes replacement time.

I find B mode more efficient (Standard Drive).
Auto climate ON, but fan reduced to minimum. Temp 22 Driver side only.
I'm in Edinburgh and my daily commute to work and back (~ 10 miles, over half on motorway) I average 3.8 to 3.9 driving normally. If I try to be very gentle I get 4.3 m/kwh. This is in summer.
Only had car 3 months, 87 kwh Advance with Skypack

Had my 87kW single motor, 19" wheels, Advance/skypack over priced top end jobbie for 17 months. I have it defaulted to e-pedal, drive in D and more often than not in eco mode. Close to 17k miles to date. Most of those miles are local but regularly throw in dual carriage way/motorway miles too. Taken the car to Spain and Portugal with a recent trip through Northern France. My all time average is circa 3.6/3.7 m/kWh. I have seen over 4 on some local trips and seen below 3 in winter on longer trips. In favourable conditions, my recent French trip springs to mind, I was regularly achieving Nissan's claimed range of circa 320 miles. For a car that doesn't look like much effort was put into efficiency, hence the slightly larger than average packs, it nevertheless is a very easy car to live with. Even the paltry peak charge rate of 130, I've only ever seen 128, hides a really good charging curve. Combine all this and it amazes me why this car is not talked about as a top class EV in any class.
