Yes it's in the app, Lexus Link. Click the three horizontal lines and then select "EV coaching". Then move down the page until you see the bar chart. Then swipe Left until you see the bar chart for Energy Consumption. P5/7. This needs a little care as when you swipe left your finger should be touching the chart area. Mad I know. A kWh is a unit of energy, in this case the energy stored in the battery or the energy used for a journey. A kW is a unit of power, ie the max power you can get from an engine. Determines how rapidly you can accelerate.

Yes - the GOM doesn't learn, unlike in the Leaf. Daft. A for miles per kWh, you have to go to the coaching score page, move down the page until you see the bar chart. Then swipe left to page 5 of 7 which shows the bar chart for Energy Consumption. But note, you have to convert from kWh/100 miles. Some on this site do not seem to have figured that you need to convert. See my post upthread for data re my "consumption" data. The UX does not perform as well as the Leaf, but all EVs are much worse in winter. I dont think this has a lot to do with using cabin heating, but just due to the effect cold on battery performance.

Some more info re this thread. If you do look at EV coaching pages of Lexus Link, page 5 (of7) of the energy consumption is given as kWh/100miles. The "yearly" consumption data (by month) is probably the most informative. I get 40kWh/100 miles in Dec and 26 in Aug, with an average of 31 kWh/100 for the year. Remember though, you need to convert these figures to miles per kWh. To do this, divide 100 by the figure in kWh/100m. So my figures become:- Best - Aug - 3.85 m/kWh Worst - Dec - 2.5 m/kWh Average - 3.23 m/kWh Anyone else looked at this?

What you have to realise is the effect of external temperature. I also log miles per % battery charge and look at the miles per kWh data on the app. If you look at the mpkWh bar chart for the whole year, you will see the extent of the variation. For me, it varies from 2.9 for Jan/Feb to 3.7 Jul/Aug. If you use off peak electricity at 8.6p/unit, it should be something you just forget about. Also the main reason some cars have better efficiency is down to aerodynamics.

Yes, have had exactly this. Occurs after a drive of at least 5 miles and then becomes noticeable when driving at about 10 mph (often when returning home). Applying the brakes makes no difference and neither does steering right then left. I doubt I will get anywhere going to the Lexus dealer as it is hard to replicate. I will report it to them at the next service in a few months.

I get this click too from passenger side. Seems to me to be related to expansion of windscreen when heating comes on. Other than that, I really don't know but definitely from screen/glovebox area on passenger side.

I can't see why driving the car would help charging the 12V battery especially when there is no belt driven alternator. For the purpose of looking into the reasons for any problems with the 12V battery, it would be good to know how and when the 12V battery gets charged. I assumed it was when plugged into a home charger. I have never had any problems with the 12v battery and even used it to pump up my tyres for winter. It seems incredibly unlikely that a 12V lead/acid battery would be drained by Bluetooth communications. I always leave the app on and left the car for 2weeks in January without problems.
