Yep, all the AI/Cloud data centers are going to whack the electrical grid upside the back of the head . . so to speak... Glad I have my solar, and in 14 months my meter has gone back 5k kW.
And that being said . . the time to fill up a fuel tank . . bout 10 min? the average time spent at a non-Tesla fast charger is approximately 42 minutes
Ya, all the Ford ad's I see NEVER mention the Lightning. Occasionally they will show a passing glance at the front light bar, but that's about it. I keep looking for an ad showing my truck...but I guess that will never happen.
Ya, I rarely use my HVAC, if it's cool out I use the heated seats, and enjoy a open window when warm out and on local roads. The HVAC will suck kW's and tank your m/kW
Ya, the shopping center near my home Just put in 10 to 12 new Chargers, of the 10 to 12 new spots, only 2 I believe are dedicated charger spots, the rest are also for general parking...
Typically, Around town (ES) I get 2.1 up to 2.8+ m/kw.
And I have a spread sheet, for my charging (had the same spread sheet for my 06" 4x4 taco) m/kw.
That is 5577m/2507kWh...2.22m/kW
Well, I'm from El Sobrante, just the other side of the hills from you. I have a 23" XLT 311a build, I routinely get 2+m/kW. I keep it below 70 when traveling Hwy 4.
