Started this morning for my 900km trip from Utrecht NL to Sölden, Austria.
Some figures sofar:
First drove 150km at 106km/h average. Consumption about 24,9 kWh per 100km. I will put some photos in for exact details. Slight headwind, outside temperature 6C, dry road. 19inch wintertyres Goodyear Ultra Grip, tyre pression 2,6 front and 2,7 back.
Made a short charge stop at Autobahn Raststätte Siegburg (50kwh), started the charging with the NewMotion app as you could not hold a RFID card to start.
After charging up to 55% got back on the road and drove for about another 145km to the Fastned charger in Limburg an der Lahn. Started the charging by holding the Maingau EinfachStromLaden card as this would be the cheapest (€0,05 per minute).
Did a relatively long distance at higher speed. Tried to hold it at 146km/h but there are too many roadworks in progress. Overall at 132km/h average did some 34kwh/100km but photos to show more details.
Now at the 175kwh charger the charging gets slower at 80% so I will leave for next stop at Stuttgart.

Lots of really good info there. Thanks for sharing. BTW car looks stunning. The more I look at the IPACE the more I style and shape.

Great infos . Thks

 

[FENorway]

What was the maximum charging speed?

 

[DrPhil]

Did not quite make it to Stuttgart without a charge just to be sure. Drove 176 km at 120km/h average with consumption at 26,2kwh/100km. Keeping cruisecontrol on 124 km is good, though did not activate the automatic distance, just to drive 'smoother'.
No wind, no rain, temperature 11C.
Now charging at a 100kw charger in Karlsruhe (Virta) with the EinfachStromLaden card, at a speed of appx. 81kwh/h. Still have the systemversion 13.2 so not the update yet.
Next stop preferably in the vicinity of Memmingen before driving into the Alps.

Thnx for sharing, great info!!

 

[Guy]

Yes, thanks a lot. Really appreciated.

Great post (so far), I think everyone is interested in how these long trips will be.

Thanks for the update - how can you set the cruisecontrol without the distance element?

 

[malcolm]

Well done Dr Phil
keep up the good work
and ditto re the I-Pace looks ,

 

[pivoking]

Thanks! Very curious what your total time will be vs ice car!. Good luck the rest of the trip and enjoy

Just push the distance button on the right and keep it pressed for two seconds and then you will get a notice "OFF"

Thought I could have a fast charge at Alois Müller in Ungerhausen near Memmingen but turns out the 150 kW charger is delivering only 50kw max😬
So will charge to 200km range, which should be enough to arrive at my pension in Oetz, where a 'slow' charger at the MPREIS supermarket will help charging through the night.

Would be very nice if more superfastchargers would be available soon + the update to 125/150 kw charging. I think range is not an issue then any more.
Temperature 14C, no wind.

Nice DrPhil!

Total time 12,5 hours. Average speed not higher than 120-130 km. Three long stops (40 minutes) and two short charging stops 'just to be sure'. In the mountains (Füssen to Oetz taking the Fernpass) average consumption was about 21,5 kw/100. I like speeding the alps😄. The car is really good in al those curves and hairpins.

I think the consumption in the dark is somewhat higher on the highway with same av speeds. Don't know why. Perhaps the LED lights? Or maybe just because there was some headwind or long climbing.
The 22kw charger at the MPREIS did not work properly (closed the session after 2 minutes after and after) so I charge now in Oetztaler Bahnhof at a 50kwh charger.

I am very curious what the car will do tomorrow on the glacierroad to 2700m. There is a chain obligation, but this car should manage it with 4wd and wintertyres.
Keep you informed!

Amazing report.
Grüss gott!

 

[d111112]

Thumbs up! Great report, have fun on the Austrian roads. 4wd is usually ok and in most cases it substitutes the chain obligation

out of interest, which app/apps are you using to dynamically replan your stops ??

I use the chargeEV app in combination with the routeplanner of www.goingelectric.de and I use the NewMotion app if necessary. It has a link to the routeplanner of Google Maps in case you find a suitable charger but need some assistance in finding it. Most fastchargers accept the cheap EinfachStromLaden card from Maingau. In fact: don't charge on slow A-C chargers because they are relatively too expensive as they charge per minute (at a speed of 3,7 or 7,4).

Charging fast up to 90% is fine.

Amazing low consumption in my opion. Maybe I should change something in my driving behaviour

Hom many KM's did you do in these 12,5 hours?

btw, fully agree with all the orders: thanks for the report!
