You'd get the same efficiency driving the same way in a 600+ BHP turbo V8 gas truck weighing almost 3 tons. Likely 10-12 mpg. At $4.00/gal, for 200 miles that just cost you $80 or thereabouts. Depending on your local electric company's bill (I recommend DCFC when you're not at home), you paid somewhat less than that in your iX. It would have cost me, for example, about $5 to go the same distance.

That's a nice number to show off with, however noone cares what fictitious range number you can get the car to guesstimate based on your recent driving history.
What we care about is highway speed range and you will not get anywhere near 734 km going 120km/h on a flat highway even I'm the most perfect weather. |

I love this stuff. My dad has an AWD Ioniq 5, and he routinely gets well north of 300 miles and ~4 miles/kWh in his routine drives. I try to be smooth as glass in my iX, but I rarely top 3 miles/kWh.

Unless you are trying to get somewhere by a certain time and there are no opportunity to charge on the way, drive the way you prefer. You acquired a luxury performance car. What is the point if you are going to drive it like a Yugo? You want to set the temperature to whatever is most ideal for you. You want to accelerate aggressively and go above the limit, knock yourself out. Enjoy the car. And if you have to charge twice a week instead of once so be it. You have a charger at home, the cost of charging is probably about a quarter of gas, so drive the car ina. way that gives you the most joy.

I have the iX50 and am averaging 2.8mi/kwh in the coldest Midwest US Winters and over 3.2mi/kwh this Spring. haven’t had it though summer yet. We see max range of 360-390 on a regular basis in the guess-o-meter, and the lowest is probably 290.
first, be sure to have your trip computer set to show your efficiency ‘since last charge’. That way, you can better understand your driving behavior. What is your trip computer set to currently? also, the calculations take time. give the computer at least 1,000 mi of driving in order for it to be reflective of your driving habits. more data = more knowledge. to max out range:
Have fun, be patient, and understand that there is a learning curve to all of this. Figure out a way to make the discipline of maxing out range into a game for yourself, and that’s when you start enjoying the EV experience more. |

I took 2 trips to the ski resort areas in the northeast. One trip was about 375 miles away the other about 230. The biggest challenge is scarcity of fast chargers when you need them unless stations. I didn’t drive any different than I would in an ice car. Did that mean proper planning yes but i don’t know that I’d go crazy about adjusting my driving style. If I drove every day maybe it would be an issue but is the goal to extend range to save $ on charging or to go further with less trip interruptions?

If you go over 70mph for a decent amount of time, it does not matter how you drive. And if there is even a slight headwind then you are lucky to get 2.3mi/kWh. In some cases there is just nothing you can do to help it.
Recently though, I decided to get some nice range number driving in the city. I got 3.8mi/kWh on a 9mi trip with traffic lights on non-EV tires even. I am on Michelin PSAS 4. It was excruciating though. Doing that 0-60mph in 22 sec in iX is just hard. Probably, not healthy too. |

I have two good data points for my recent New England road trip. Detailed here:
April Eclipse Road Trip Basically, outbound temps in the mid 30s to low 40s, avg of 45.5 kWh / 100 miles Return trip temps in the low to mid 60s, avg of 35.5 kWh / 100 miles Stuck to Efficiency mode and set the DA to 70 mph for much of the ride.

Drove 200 miles to Garden City Ks to visit my kids a few days ago. Very stiff side winds and temp about 75 degrees. Started with 95%, arrived with 23%. Dash said I averaged 2.7 miles per kW. On two lane roads (about 75% of the trip) the cruise was set at 72mph. On four lane roads - 77 mph. Actual average speed was 62mph. Total altitude gain - 1,500 feet.
Will return home tomorrow, expect slightly better results as winds will be lighter and a bit downhill. |

You didn't say what driving mode, but uphill-ish, windy-ish, 70+ mph, that's actually excellent.

Supposedly, the efficient driving mode only works at low speeds. I have tried it many times and I got nothing at highway speeds. The efficiency indicator only shows something like below 40 mph or so.
