  1. Edmunds 3 year Lightning review

    Have been a follower and a patreon supporter for years now of that very channel!
  2. Road Trip, how low is too low (SOC remaining)

    Sounds like you did the trip already and it worked, but for my $0.02, I have found Ford's estimated SOC at arrival to be very accurate (plus or minus 1-2%) on all of the trips I have taken so far. Whether a short 45km trip up to the local ski hill, or 300km legs of a winter road trip through...
  3. Winter Road Trip across through BC Mountains

    Funny enough, I had to convince my wife as well. Not that the smart meters are a scam/etc., but that the time of day would work for us, ESPECIALLY now with 3 frikkin EVs charging at home.
  4. Winter Road Trip across through BC Mountains

    Glad you found it useful. I think that the one thing that makes the % SoC arrival estimate LESS accurate, is speeding...so I think the truck takes posted speed limits and elevation along the route into account. One section we drove where the SoC at arrival estimate was 3-4% off, was a...
  5. Winter Road Trip across through BC Mountains

    That's great to hear about your trip and efficiency. 31 overall for a 9500km trip is good, that's a theoretical 420+ km range for all highway. Or about 17% less than rated range. Are you on the time of day rates for BC Hydro? If so, how's it been for you? We just made the switch to that...
  6. Winter Road Trip across through BC Mountains

    Hello folks Finally got to do a long-ish road trip in our 2024 Flash trim Lightning, doing about 1500kms round trip through BC in winter, with lots of elevation changes, high speed highways, and some snow/cold. Here are some notes: Cost: Overall, spent $200 on fast charging for 1500 kms of...
  7. 3323 mile round trip Northern AZ to LA to Vancouver, WA -- Fantastic vehicle.

    Agreed. Same with us, even towing our tent trailer with our ID4 the last 2 summers on our 2000km round trip mtn bike trips.... it is fine that we have to stop to charge after ~200kms of driving. The kids get to play at a playground, eat a decent meal, etc., while we fuel up. Much better than...
  8. 3323 mile round trip Northern AZ to LA to Vancouver, WA -- Fantastic vehicle.

    That's awesome, thanks! We've had another EV for about 35,00kms now so we know the speed kills thing. And the cabin temps...I usually have the temps set to 19-20*C as well. But, I will be upping my tire pressure, as the truck came stock with 36psi on all 4 tires. That said...I have only had...
  9. 3323 mile round trip Northern AZ to LA to Vancouver, WA -- Fantastic vehicle.

    So....first off...holy moly!! Converting this from Freedom Units, here is my math 3,323 Miles = 5,317kms To get to base 100km: 5,317 / 53.17 1429 KWH / the same 53.17 = 26.9kw Overall efficiency then = 26.9kwh/100kms That is absolutely WILD how good that is! How did you get this that...
