Travelled 383.6km in 80% SOC (indicating 480km at 9.6km/kWh) on a trip from Belgaum to Udupi in my Creta Electric Excellence LR.

Drive Experience
Keep in mind it is a net 700m downhill. 3 people + luggage. Used Auto regen throughout the trip (holding left paddle whenever I needed to brake without a vehicle ahead), with ocassional i-Pedal in traffic, bad roads, ghats, or the sudden barricade-chicanes on the Udupi-Mangalore highway.
Lifetime stats (including the large idle time from pre-delivery):
Stats at Yellapur (breakfast stop):
Descent from Yellapur to Hiregutti:

Bluelink stats of the two drives:
Overall a very comfortable journey. Will be doing a return journey in a few days, which is uphill (would DC charge for a few mins just to be safe). I already did two 10-min DC charges en-route to Mangalore and back from Mangalore (achieved around 42 kW peak )
Drove in torrential rains on the badly-lit pothole-ridden roads out of Mangalore. ADAS’ lane-centering assist helped out a lot, and the blind-spot warnings kept drivers who crept up behind in check. I enjoyed the sound insulation which otherwise would have tiring.
