BHPian S2!!!<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Most of my observations are similar to what I have shared in my previous posts.<\/p>\n So this time, I’ll just get to the numbers instead.<\/p>\n Even though my car is driven in Eco mode at all times, ambient temperatures and climate control settings have a huge impact on fuel efficiency. As explained by someone from the product team, the e-compressor exerts a tremendous load on the Li-Ion battery, which in turn relies on the engine (generator) to recharge it, thus impacting fuel consumption.<\/p>\n When climate control is set to 22 deg C or below, fuel efficiency drops below 20kpl (with ambient temperatures above 30 deg C). 23 deg C and higher is a relatively economical setting, however, to cool down a sun-baked cabin does load up the e-compressor initially. So, short drives will be very inefficient with figures falling to single digits occasionally; only once the car is cool, does the FE improve and from thereon the numbers rise above the 20kpl mark.<\/p>\n1 year, 12,000km update<\/h2>\n
