State Hwy (60-65MPH) 90%
City driving (25-35MPH) 5%
Terrain was 50-50 mix flat and hills.
SOC when leaving 91%
SOC returning 33%
GOM leaving 295 Mi
GOM returning 104 Mi
Outside temp 58F Leaving, 75F returning
AC on 25% of the trip, set at 70F
Theoretical max range at 2.8 miles/kWh 366.8

Are you sure it was not downhill both ways?😂🤣

I would guess that was probably about pretty ideal temperature wise and must not have been much if any wind!-good to see what these these trucks are capable of

I was more than happy. I had planned on a charging stop on the way back, but when I got to the town where the fast charger was, I was at 40% and only 45 miles from home, so I skipped it. And yes, wind was at about 5 MPH.

Wow, great job optimizing...I've got 3.3 before, but NEVER that speed, nor distance...

I find if you really accelerate very gently and maintain speeds you can boost the m/kwh a lot
I find that if you really put your foot into it and drive it like you stole it it's hard to wipe the smile off of your face 🤣

Set a record this week with 20.7 mi/kWh on a 5.4 mile trip!
On the way up to the State Park office, which is at the top of a small mountain, it only got 1.0 mi/kWh, which was also a new record low. After picking up 50 blight resistant chestnut seedlings in my 2023 XLT ER - on the way back it did an amazing 20.7 mi/kWh!!n Usually I get about 2.4 mi/kWhr with it.

20.8 (as I recall) is the max it can display with regen. We see that going downhill from mountains on trips. It's actually higher, but it maxes out.

Yes going into town from my place I usually arrive with 3 percent more charge after three miles driving so miles per kWh is actually a negative number …

Is that the big screen average or miles/kWh average? I find the big screen average is.. optimistic with Miles traveled/kWh on recharge to be the most accurate.
