1000 km with a Nexon EV Max: Real world range in Bangalore traffic

My DTE has been all over the place showing even 406km at 100% after my second charge but it's settling down and getting more closer to real word range.

Quick few observations/data points on range at 1000km of ownership:

Car : Nexon ev max xz+ lux

Delivered : Nov 2022

Current odo : ~1000 km

Usage: Bangalore traffic 100%, 24-25°C Auto AC, 2-3 person always, 34-35 psi tire pressure, City Mode, Regen level 1, charged always on 7kw home charger with first charge from below 10 to 100% and subsequent charges from 20s to 100%. Haven't done a second 10-100 charge yet. My charges usually takes 4-5 hrs and it's proving to be pretty quick and super convenient to me.

With the above I am hitting 134-135Wh/km with my normal driving - very few hard acceleration and braking. This gives me about 300km full range and about 250km usable range before I put my car on charge. With a conscious drive for range under same conditions as above I have managed to get it to 120s as well. My range and %SOC has been pretty linear in the sense that the SOC level drops very linearly and I haven't observed any spikes/sudden drops.

My DTE has been all over the place showing even 406km at 100% after my second charge but it's settling down and getting more closer to real word range. My trip A gets reset after each charge and my trip B is a running one and after I have reset my trip A the Wh/km calculation starts with a high number and settles down to a true number at about 90-100km distance.

Inclines/elevations seems to be a major factor in EV range - to give you an example, my morning school drop off drive is a 15km round trip with an onward journey consisting of a pretty consistent overall uphill drive and I do it with a 4% SOC drop whereas my return journey takes only 1% SOC.
