New to the club from South Jordan and what I’ve done to optimize the miles per kilowatt over the last year

[BRUCE KAISER]

So I have owned two ionic 5N 2025 cars. The first was totaled about a month ago by a fellow running at red light.
So Insurance gave me the money and I bought another one that had 4000 miles on it
My main focus was to make you high mileage car while maintaining it’s race car attitude when I want to use it
I also altered its appearance with the skillful use of a very good car wrap company

To increase its miles per kilowatt I focused on driving style and tires and wheels
I’m going to give you the details of both and I would be curious as to what the folks on the form think my improved range was over the the EPA estimate??!

But at first a picture of my car in its current configuration with new wheels, new tires and a wrap to modify the original solid white look


I will not describe all the various wheel diameter weights entire types. I used. I will just give you my final configuration that I reached after a year of experiments.

I am sure you’re all aware of the stock wheel configuration. The car came with, but I’m including the details here.


First Stock I weighed the wheels and tire assembly and found it to be 60 pounds. I have included photographs of those wheels so they’re exact role resistance pressure ation with height and weight may be obtained directly from the manufacturer.
My battery on my phone is dying, so I’ll have to continue this later

So continue stock tires picture
Now for pictures of the aftermarket configuration which consist of 20 inch forged aluminum wheels, Perelli centurato tires and HaloBLK wheel covers
Note pics for details
The the tire pressure on all four corners is 46 pounds
And the total weight of the aftermarket wheel tire wheel cover configuration is 44 pounds

So there you have the changes that I settled on after several iterations that provided me the best range per charge

So the other aspect that I use is driving style in my effort to produce the best range
Note, my trips around the valley typically requires 70% highway driving and 30% city driving


I always drive fairly conservatively in the Eco mode


I use level three regeneration and anticipate when I have to stop by lifting off the accelerator and coasting to a stop at essentially zero MPG at just the point I need to to avoid wasting any energy to get moving again


My driving area is in the Salt Lake Valley and includes 70% highway driving at 65 to 70 miles an hour and the remainder city driving with an average of about 35 mph

So there you have it
I am sure some of the folks on the forum have done similar modifications in an attempt to significantly improve the rains per charge from the EPA rating of 220 miles

So I would greatly appreciate if some daring folks would take educated guess at what I currently get with these notifications for my range??

Note in summaryI reduced each tire wheel combo weight by 16 pounds. I increase the tire pressure to 46 pounds. I improved the roll efficiency significantly from the stock tire. It is considerably narrower and has much better all weather traction and I reduced the diameter from 21 inches to 20 inches and I entirely closed in the wheel with Haloblk wheel covers

And I have a conservative approach to driving
And I very rarely use any climate control with the exception of heating or cooling the seats and opening the windows when needed

So what is my current miles per kilowatt hour average???
Based on your experience
