DATA THREAD: Post your tow and efficiency!

[kubel]

Old 26' (I think) camper, sticker says 4400lbs but there's probably 1500lbs of payload.

0.8 mi/kWh at around 60-65 MPH
1.1 mi/kWh at around 45-55MPH (amazing how much slowing down helps)

50F. Drove about 210 miles and stopped twice to charge (last stop was just for like 10 minutes). Rained a little. Not much elevation change or wind.

This truck tows so nicely. It's like it's not even back there.

been towing my 'new' 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer for several weeks over 5 to 6 113 mile trips, each going exceptionally well for this single-axle ~1,500lb dry weight trailer, with ~2,500lb-~3,000lb loaded weight... for a home move...

smooth, easy, and the truck hardly knows it's there... and each trip does not require a charging stop, from 100%, with about 1.4-1.5mi/kwh average... I have a 240v 30amp mobile EVSE at both locations, home, and the 'new' home...

I did, though, stop last evening at a brand new RACE TRAC with a new set of 'DC Fast Chargers', under a roof covering(nice), and with fairly easy access, with the trailer attached - CCS AND NACS. This is basically a rebranded 'Shell' Recharge station, and, unfortunately not a Ford Blue Oval member, and NO 'tap' credit card payment method: you MUST scan the QR code, and 'create an account' with your Payment Method, to even get started - then, you must understand the 'instructions' to start the charge, which took maybe 8 tries since their instructions are NOT clear, as sometimes it alludes to something to do on their 'app' website, and other times it says you must 'check' the screen to proceed, etc... not very intuitive - and seemingly an 'old' software from Shell.

oh well. it could be worse. Once it DID start, it stayed at about 120-140kw for the few minutes I needed to get a few extra miles... @ .56 per kwh. Nice to have an option, but I won't be using this one much, if ever.
I think owners of stations, or their 'brands', don't understand the need for EASY, INTUITIVE, and QUICK charging, for all the money they spend on these locations. Maybe Plug-N-Charge will come, one day...we can only hope.
