Where are you located? Very cold weather is a killer on battery life. I drive mine like I stole it and my lifetime average is 2.9. My car is garaged until used.
Not a realistic tradeoff. Charging speed is a function of design, not size and weight. 50% more range would mean a much larger and heavier battery pack.
You spent all that money on a beautiful car and the only thing you’re concerned about is a few cents in operating costs here and there???
I chose the GV60P because it met my requirements: small size, powerful, luxurious. Not many do. But I did so knowing full well that the range is less than many competitors. To me, that was a fair trade off. My car is garaged and I charge every night to 80%. Over the course of the year I have driven all over the Valley and never got close to running out of range and I drive it like I stole it without concern for range. My plan is that if I am planning a long trip, I can use my car if they ever get the highway fast charge stations installed or just rent a vehicle for the trip. I recently did an out of state trip to Las Vegas area and I had planned to rent a car but my GV60P was in for service and they gave me a GV80 as a loaner so I took that one. Unlike my GV60P, it was large enough to fit my daughter and her family, Not buying gas for a year it was a shocker to start filling up a mid sized SUV gas tank.
I have no idea how you can get efficiency like that but well done!
I don't think you've got much to complain about. The GV60 is rated for "up to" ~230 miles of range. That would be under ideal conditions: 20C (requiring no heat or cooling), and driving at a constant 45 mph or so. Take that same car, drop it into 5-10C temperatures at 60/65 mph, add a few acceleration/deceleration cycles, and you drop to the 200 miles you're seeing now.
I have a Rear Wheel Drive, always in Eco and climate always at lowest Auto setting and over 4000 miles it’s showing 3.6 miles/kwh.
I don't disagree. But I would take the larger battery pack (even with the extra cost and weight) and give up the charging speed every time. But my point was in the case of the GV60 (and sister cars) in real life you don't save THAT much time versus a car rated with half the charging speed. First of all you need to find a dispenser capable of that speed, and even if you do and if the battery is properly preconditioned and if the charging station is working properly you don't see 200+kw speeds for that long. Having that speed capability is unquestionably a plus, but it's just not the panacea that some here would like us to believe. In addition to the GV60 we also own a Model Y and like them both for different reasons. No question the GV60 is the nicer drive (and it better be for the price premium), but if we are going to need to charge away from home, we will nearly always take the Y. In the overall scheme of things, sure the ability to charge a few minutes faster is an advantage, but in real life it's no where near the top of the list. If we were to take the GV60 on the same trip we could easily waste far more time driving to a CCS station that's working or waiting in line at the CCS station or several minutes just trying to get the CCS charging session started. It's just so utterly painless to use a Supercharger with the Y. Not here to trash the GV60, but if someone regularly needs Level 3 charging away from home, that's the one aspect where the Y has it all over the GV60.
Their relative efficiency is actually very close, both according to formal testing and according to your comments, but one would think you’d know that as an “EV expert”
…I understand your point and I wasn't disagreeing with your argument for a larger battery pack. I was just pointing out that they aren't swappable options: bigger battery pack vs. faster fast charging.
