Learned a lot about my car this morning, too bad I did not get that errand combo while I was doing the write-up.
Left home on a full charge, drove my eldest further downtown than my office to drop her at the metro. I behaved, 9 km left despite the longer than usual commute; hybrids thrive in stop and go urban driving. Plugged the e-tron on 120V for an hour before driving away to a meeting, battery showing 17 km range. Drove 15-ish to the meeting on a big, fast arterial, parked with the red bar and "0 km" showing but still no ICE action.
Post-meeting, I opt for the longer but much faster highway option back to the office. ICE starts about 1 km into the drive, so I figured I had here the perfect opportunity to test the regen in "Sport" over the next 22 km. Strangely, the e-tron goes into "Glide" mode when you lift in "D", so zero regen. In Sport, the regen is so strong that the car will almost come to a stop. Zipping around trucks and tackling ramps without worrying about range was terrific - this thing really scoots, and handling is impressive!
More impressive though was the regen effect - by the time I reached my parking spot, the battery went from empty to three bars, and EV range went from 0 to 12 km! Now that's a Sport that generates results!
The ICE commute netted 8.8 l/100km and despite the Sport mode the car went EV near the office and throughout the underground garage.
Me happy!
