My RZ450e Premium real-world range experience

[Cavey]

I’ve been driving my RZ450e Premium with 18" wheels and Core Delete, mostly in urban and suburban settings. I’ve kept the HVAC off, the stereo on, and used max regen braking. In Range mode, the power distribution shifts from the 150W front motor to the 80W rear, which makes the accelerator feel a bit sluggish but helps extend range. On a full charge, I’ve seen anywhere between 240-260 miles, though I haven’t pushed it to empty. For highway driving, I’d recommend keeping HVAC off, using Range mode, and minimizing regen braking. Curious to hear others' experiences on the highway..

Although a 200-mile range on a full charge under ideal conditions is a good startingbeginning point, real-world variables like weather, topography, and driving style should be taken into account though.

A strategy I have for long-distance driving is to swiftly recharge to 80% and drive for an additional two hours. BUT individual driving habits and particular road conditions will affect the overall efficiency and range. Especially for long excursions, it's a good idea to have a backup and take into account charging stations along the way. You may increase your range and have a comfortable ride by keeping these things in mind and making use of the car's energy management capabilities.

Thanks for the tips, I'll keep swift 80% recharges and planning charging stops in mind.

I'm thinking I can probably get around 180 miles on the highway when the weather's good. After that, a quick charge to 80% should give me enough juice for another couple of hours of driving. In the winter, I might not go quite as far, but I should still be able to drive for a couple of hours between charges.

I'll have to see how it actually performs in real-world conditions.

My estimate is based on how many miles I think I can get out of each unit of battery power.

It would be interesting to see how far I could go in the cold without stopping to charge, but realistically, I'll be able to recharge along the way. I think the official range of 240-270 miles is probably based on ideal conditions.
