Range vs. temperature

[owo]

A Canadian VW employee posted this great chart to the e-Golf facebook group, of average range vs. temperature based on OBD data captured from a 2017 fleet car with ~10k miles of typical driving by ~100 different drivers. Overall trend is not surprising, but it's pretty incredible to see the over 2x delta between best and worst possible range quantified, and heartening that even the average driver will easily exceed the EPA-estimated 125 miles in good weather.

Here's a link to the original post, which you have to join the group to see: https://www.facebook.com/groups/vwegolf/permalink/1347153058764863/

They used a FleetCarma device which, as the name implies, seems to be available only to business customers. I just made another thread asking if anyone knows of consumer OBD loggers that can get useful data out of the e-Golf: http://www.myvwegolf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1457

EDIT: It looks like the company behind FleetCarma crowdfunded a consumer product called MyEV several years ago, but I can't find a link to buy it, only a reservation form which states it "will ship in late 2014", which isn't a good sign

So far, that jives with what I see on my GOM at -10 to 0 degrees Centigrade. Good graph!

Here in Southern California, I seem to get the most miles per kwh at 72 to 83F air temperatures, without running any auxilliary fan, AC or heating, and cracking the window in front 1 to 2" open, with speeds at or under 45 mph, max. About 6.2 to 6.6 miles per kwh. 2015 e-Golf SEL.
