Is the Kia EV6 efficiency value wrong? In this video I investigate just that!

Thanks for the analysis. One thing to question, is the energy remaining figure you're getting from the scanner accurate? I've been doing some tests and what I noticed is that number is not consistent with the SoC reading. Whether you use 77400 Wh or 74000 Wh as the 100% SoC, the energy remaining number is always quite a bit less. I've been trying to get a handle on this but haven't gotten enough data points to understand it. If you have any insight it would be great to hear. Also, go back to your spreadsheet and use the various SoC numbers against the full 77400 Wh bank, does it change any of your calculations?

Yes, I've noticed a lack of linearity too. Easy to spot at 50% SOC when it's obvious that the value seen is not 1/2 of the 100% SOC value. I'm still convinced the incorrect efficiency readout is regen related though.

That's really interesting, and well done. But this video could have been about 6 minutes long not half an hour! Soooo much fast-forwarding to get to the bloody point.

Fair enough, it did end up longer than I'd expected. But if I take stuff out then those who want to watch those parts can't, whereas if I leave it in those who don't want to watch it all do have the option of skipping.
