Hi Jamie,
There were no details on how CR tested the pack and what they recharged
to. Their overall draw was 3.15 miles/kwhr. I am thinking is that
these are typically ICE drivers and they may have been a little heavy
footed as compared to an experienced EV driver. Also, they are going
through their set drive schedule. YMMV and we see that it does. At
least there is another established independent frame of reference
besides EPA with a documented way of testing.

We get around 3.3 to 4.5 miles/kWh in colder weather and 4 to 5.5
miles/kWh in warmer weather (indicated). With roughly 20kWh usable
from the 24kWh pack, that's about 66-90 miles in cold weather and
80-110 in warm weather at 100% charge for our mix of city and highway
driving, generally in Eco mode (but with full power always available
from the accelerator pedal when needed).
Based on the Consumer Report number you quoted, it would seem that
their experience is a bit different than ours. What model year did
they test, and at what charge percentage?
