Just completed the second of 2 unscientific, but real-world tests of my I-Pace range post-H264. Both were all local driving, never above 50, many short trips/errands throughout the week. Almost 2 identical weeks back to back (same roads, itineraries, etc.). The first week I drove exclusively in ECO mode with sparing use of AC, seat heaters, etc. (although heavy rains necessitated about 90 min of windshield wipers on high) and only a handful of "jackrabbit" starts. End result: I drove 227 miles with 2 left on the GOM for range of 229. In week 2, I drove entirely in COMFORT mode, with liberal use of my seat heaters, AC, and drove much more 'spirited' (jackrabbit whenever I could!). Week 2 result: I drove 220 mi with 2 left on the GoM for range of 222. At 100% SOC, the GoM indicated 260 and 256, respectively, at beginning of each test. I got H264 just 3 weeks ago.
This tells me that ECO mode has very little impact (only +7 mi) on city range, so I won't be so concerned about using it locally.
I'd love to repeat this for highway travel, but it will be harder to orchestrate. I really just want to confirm what range I can consistently achieve (200+?) at 75-80mph on freeway.
Oh, I'm in Florida, with temps in the 60-75F range, and I have the "range-limiting" 22 inch wheels, FYI.
