First, let me say that my driving lifestyle is normally a couple of short low speed local trips of less than 50 miles each per week. I just used up my once a year 1,000 mile road trip last week returning from Dearborn.
I assume that the lowest possible charge rate is the most efficient and battery-friendly thing to do if your lifestyle allows it.
I have not yet installed the Ford Pro 80 Amp Charger in my Maintenance Building and had been charging through my 50 Amp NEMA 14-50 at the house with the Ford Mobile Connect Charger.
This week I have been parking my Lariat ER at a Barn about 3/4 miles away across my farm which has only a 120 Volt 20 Amp outlet available. That has allowed me to monitor the charge rates. I am sure there are many other people out there that, for now, are stuck with only a 120 Volt outlet in their garage or apartment carport.
My latest session went like this:
Start 72% (94 of 131 KW) Range Guess 258 Miles
+22 Hrs. 88% (116 of 131 KW) Range Guess 302 Miles
44 Miles Added with 22 kWh - 2.0 M/kWh - 1.0 KW/Hr.
+18 Hrs. 100% (131 of 131 KW) Range Guess 350 Miles
48 Miles Added with 15 kWh - 3.2 M/kWh - 0.83 KW/Hr.
This is much different than the DC Fast and 50 Amp Charge Curves I have seen published.
I also have noticed that the Estimated Target Range on Ford Pass increases as the session nears 100%.
In my last two trips to town my Total Range on my Trip Meter (Distance Driven + Future Range) has increased by about 10 miles each time (Prior to the above charge session I showed 365 Miles Total).
I do try to stay under 45 mph, use Adaptive Cruise, and 100% Brake Coach.
