Panamera e-hybrid e-range ?
Now that Panamera-e-hybrids have started getting delivered, lets share what kind of e-range everyone is getting.
After battery fully charged I have been getting a range between 42 and 38.

That is by far the highest I have read from anyone on this forum!! Where are you located? Are you actually realizing that mileage or is that just what shows up after you fully charge it? Still waiting for CARB for my car.

Depsite showing a range of 30 miles when fully charged, I've only been able to drive 27. And that's with the AC on blast and massage seats on.

as posted in the other thread, I managed 48km before the car binged me and told me the battery was empty. Nevertheless, I kept on driving using the petrol engine in hybrid mode but every time I took the foot of the gas, the engine turned itself off and I seemed to be charging the battery. This meant that at low speeds, I could drive with the battery again even though I saw the bing message that the battery was empty... I ended up doing 78km in total before returning the car after my testdrive.

I found an interesting article on the Tesla Model S, regarding how temperature, AC, speed, etc., affect the mileage range of a full battery charge:

It's very relevant to the E-Hybrid range, so I thought I'd share this with you guys.
Another Tesla owner wrote that he changed from 21-inch to 19-inch wheels and found a significant improvement in mileage range.

I see that VW is coming out with a plug-in hybrid "crossover" (small SUV) next year, called the Cross Sport concept for now.
Interestingly, it has an 18-kWh battery capacity going to an electric motor for each axle, with stated all-electric range of 26 miles. Being in the VW family, I wonder if Porsche will soon upgrade its battery capacity from the current 14 kwH to 18 or 20 kWh in the next couple of years... That could give reasonable real-world all-electric ranges of 32-35 miles for the Panamera in summer-time temperatures, and make it even more useful for commuting purposes.

Bigger capacity good but also heating the batteries would make a big difference. This is apparently what the new i3 does, so although it uses a little power to heat them, the range is much improved/doesn't suffer in the winter.

Picking mine up this weekend, woo-hoo! What is the consensus on the recommended way to "break-in" the battery to maximize range? I think I saw advice that it should be fully run down and then fully-charged (repeat three times). Does it matter if that full recharge is done via power outlet or through the vehicle itself?

Porche warranty
Hello, i just bought a 2015 porsche panamera s ehybrid with 28k miles. At the moment i am getting 15-20km of electric range. I was wondering if i should buy warranty on the car. I am worried about the hybrid battery dieing. Can i get some advice?
#14
Hello, if you can find a warranty that covers the hvb, and you plan on keeping the car for a while, i would buy that warranty. I currently get 11-12 miles range on my '16, but am also getting a cel code noting replacement of the hvb is needed. that is going to be a $20K-$30K bill when it happens...I'm going to drive this thing till it dies though (hoping that it hangs in there for a year+), before dropping the $ on a battery replacement.

15-20 km of electric-only range is about all you could get of of the S E-Hybrid new... very tiny traction battery... I doubt it has seen much battery degradation. I wouldn't worry about it, personally, and save your money. If the battery dies, cross that bridge when you get to it. I considered buying an S E-Hybrid some 6-7 years ago and decided not to because of its poor all-electric range (which doesn't help me with a 26-mile roundtrip work commute) and because of its RWD-only drivetrain. Just not practical for me (I ended up buying a special-order new 2018 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid ST).
