I’ve been using the power graph on my display to improve efficiency, and it’s been really helpful. By experimenting with the throttle, I discovered that slightly easing off the pedal at cruising speed helps save energy without losing speed. I believe this is why some cars struggle with range—there’s a power loss at cruising speed. Since I started experimenting, my average energy usage has dropped from 28 kWh to around 19.2-19.5 kWh per 62 miles. I reset the graph 5 days ago, and it's been a noticeable improvement. Hopefully, others can try this and confirm if it works for them too..
 
That’s a great tip! Easing off the throttle at cruising speed is a smart way to save energy. It’s impressive that you’ve reduced your energy usage so much.
