“I drive 1 km a day, an electric car is not for me,” you say? Then see [Twitter]

Interesting question on Twitter from Tesla Mileage Leader Board (THML). Drivers were asked to comment on the farthest distance they covered in 24 hours. In theory, this question only applies to Tesla, but in principle it can be adapted to any car with a real range of 400 kilometers or more.

• Record the distance traveled by electric vehicle during the day
  • 1 km per day without problems, records over 000 km

The information below is interesting because the drivers drove with pauses for charging. Therefore, overcoming a given distance, they had to stop to replenish the energy in the battery, which usually takes several tens of minutes. The list has been compiled on the basis of oral statements, therefore the information below may be false. However, we believe that this is not the case.

Probably the best result is an AR user's information about covering 1 km in a Tesla Model 448 Performance in 3 hours. Including charging. Subtracting the need for three stops of 13 minutes [estimated data], we get an average speed of 40 km / h, which makes the information ... unreliable.

1 km per day without problems, records over 000 km

Looks much more believable tweet about covering a distance of 3 kilometers on a Model 1 in 836 hours 23 minutes... If we assume that charging took place every 400 kilometers and lasted 40 minutes, we get 1 kilometer in 836 hours, that is movement at an average speed of 87 km / h. Let's add, however, that the assumption about distance and time is optimistic - it follows from the statements of users. the need for stops every 300-350 kilometers.

User Alex Roberts drove 1 kilometer in Model X from Madrid (Spain) to Poitiers (France) and then to London (UK).

In turn, the Internet user Artur Vermeulen drove 85 kilometers in a Model S P1 from Croatia to the Netherlands in 400 hours.including traffic jams on the Slovenian border and, of course, charging. The same user points out that during his holidays he regularly drives more than 960 kilometers a day, and his car has a range of about 410 kilometers without recharging.

> The software update goes to the Supercharger, the charging power is increased to 145+ kW.

In general, distances of 900–1 kilometers are not uncommon, and the champions overcome 000–1 kilometers a day and, it seems, still have time to rest. Average speed for all routes - including loading stops! – 85-96 km/h.

To reach this average in Poland, you need to move at an estimated speed of about 110-120 km / h, make one short rest stop and be lucky, i.e. don't get into the A4 in an accident. In other words: the above average corresponds to perfectly normal, legal driving.

Of course, when interpreting the above data, one should keep in mind the Supercharger network in Poland, which is quite rare compared to the network in the USA. However, this year, plus the plans of Greenway Polska and Ionity, should make a significant difference for the better.
