Hi,
I noticed that every trip I take with my 2016 egolf SE starts with a low average consumption value in the 2 KWh range, even if I switch off climate control immediately, go to an eco mode, and drive sensibly from the start. It takes 15+ minutes to come close to the final average consumption in the 4-5 KWh range (depending how I drive). My usual trips are about 3 min on city streets and then freeway. I saw the same phenomenon in my Gas-powered VW cars with avg mph, but they climbed to a reasonable avg consumption much quicker, even though the penalty for city driving is more severe for gas cars.
What's the story behind this avg consumption behavior, is this programmed, or is there something on startup that actually uses a whole lot of power?
Regards,
Alex
