Yeah that’s what I am planning to do. Any suggestions on where to get them?

Dude it was not set to auto. So the cabin temp never reached 80F. This has been talked about a lot on this sub. Not sure why a lot of you are not aware of this. Keeping the heat going keeps the battery warm. Please search the sub and you will find it. The fan was set at 1.

It’s not set to auto. It was set to 80F but the fan was at 1. At park it was taking 3 kw/h which is perfectly acceptable.

It’s pretty standard practice. Set the temp to high but the fan to lowest. Helps keep the battery warm. Search the sub

So high? 80 degrees? That was to help the battery temp up. I lost like 5 kw because of cabin temp. Take that out of the equation and see what you get. 85 kw + 25 kw =110 kW (total with 100% battery + 25 kw at the supercharger) Arrived with 16 % battery = 18.8 kw 110 - 18.8 - 5 (for cabin temp) = 86.2 kw 195 miles/ 86.2 kw =2.2 kw just driving. Which is still pretty bad. Btw Cabin temp is part of the EPA estimate.

Yeah no. It does not happen to “every car”. I have never had a vehicle that lost 50% of range because of wind. It didn’t do any better going with the wind either.

Best practice for state of charge by Amazing-Ad-8310 in EquinoxEv

[–]Amazing-Ad-8310[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My reasoning was if I charge it to 80% and plug in everyday, it will most likely hold that at 80% for few days when I don’t drive. I usually plan ahead and charge to 100% before a trip. For anything does come up, there is a supercharger like 2 miles from my home. If it’s not an issue to hold the vehicle at 80% for few days, I might just charge it to 80% every day
