Title: 84Wh / mile...
Post by: princec on March 09, 2021, 05:33:25 PM
No idea if that's good or not. What are you getting?

Do you have any more context like speed, temperature, bike, ...?

I think that I average around 100Wh/km when leisurely riding my Energica in summer.

SR/F in Street mode, mostly A and B roads (30-60mph), a few villages. Temperature 4...12 degrees C. Not hanging about but not gunning it either... my riding styles is mostly about acceleration than speed.

Sadly the display on the SR/F platform is not to be trusted, especially the "instantaneous" Wh/mi readout. It's nowhere near instantaneous; take your hand off the throttle while riding and watch the readout not really change. The only true gauge you have is to see how many miles you get before the bike runs out.

That figure was from the famously crappy Zero Android app. Longest ride I've done so far was 66 miles using 85% of the SOC from full... I suppose that's 85% of 11.5KWh or so so about 9.8KWh, or 148Wh/m which looks a bit more realistic.

I get about 190 Wh/mi on my Energica Ego, it's high since I usually ride on the highway. And if I'm not on the highway, I'm usually accelerating pretty hard wherever I can.

Still, about half what a car uses, so that's a win.

I'm pretty surprised how efficient my Model 3 Performance is. All-time average consumption on my car is 316 Wh/mi even though I drive it similarly to my motorcycle, and more often in the winter which lowers efficiency.

Haven't checked mine in a while but spotted it as I was going through my dash, 55Wh/mile so it's probably still as inaccurate as it's always been.

Not sure if this reset with the latest firmware update, but my FXS with 6200 miles on it claims an average 76Wh/mile, but only 14kWh of total energy used! I swear I've charged it more than twice in the past 3 years. I confirmed this data is consistent on the dash, in the app, and through the OBD port.

On my bike, every time I insert new firmware it resets the trip mileage, number of charges, and Wh/mile readings, maybe other stuff too and then starts from scratch as if you just bought a new bike. Frankly most of those app totals don't appear very useful. So I just ignore them. All I really use the app for is to check my battery condition, which never really seems to change much. And of course, I also use it to check for new firmware updates, so that I can start the process all over again.    ::)
