Real world range? GTPE vs. Premium ext. range AWD?

[Machmus]

Has anyone of you owned both GTPE and Premium Extended Range AWD? How do you experience the real world range between them?

I'm currently waiting for my GTPE, but I'm a little bit concerned about reducing range from the Premium AWD I own today.

I had a Premium AWD Extended and now a GT PE. I'm actually seeing more range on the GT PE, but weather has gotten slightly warmer... I'm in CA so "cold is high 50's low 60's lol. If you drive them both the same, you probably won't notice, but it is a lot easier to tank my range in the GT PE since flooring it uses way more energy than my Premium. I'm hopeful that 2021s would get the usable battery increase, that would almost cover the loss of range from 270 to 260 miles. I think it would put me back to 270/275 miles with the 3 additional kWh from the battery. I have only had the GT PE for just under a month, so it might still be learning my style to properly update the GOM, but I have no regrets!

Cool, tnx. It doesn't matter for me tanking it fast in my daily use, since I mostly do small city trips, and charge at home. But I also do several long trips a year, but as you say, I will probably not notice if I drive them the same.
