We investigate Pauli-consistent ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of graphene with explicit intraband electron–electron scattering. To reduce the cost of electron–electron proposal-rate evaluation, we introduce a sampled-partner approximation that replaces the full partner-cell sum by uniform sampling from the instantaneous ensemble, while leaving the event-level collision step unchanged. Comparison with the full-sum reference shows close agreement together with a substantial reduction in computational cost, enabling large-ensemble low-noise simulations. In this regime, systematic oscillatory components become clearly resolved in ensemble-averaged time traces. We show that these oscillations are numerical and originate from deterministic drift on the discretized momentum-space grid. We also discuss a procedure for reducing their impact in recorded observables without modifying the underlying Monte Carlo dynamics.
