December '24-December '25 Driving Data

[Jseis]

For your data junkie tendencies... Here in the southwest of the southwest of Washington... it's two seasons and here's a years' worth of data. Red line is under 300 miles range and Green line is above 300 miles range (estimates based on mi/kWh). The truck has nearly 54K miles so when I get around to it I'll post some short notes. Most importantly, I drive rural roads, two lane asphalt curvy highway in various good and bad stages. 44 miles to work then 44 miles home. Work means local driving, so I tend to average over 90 miles a day with the highway speeds averaging out to 46 miles per hour. On the straighter portions I tend to cruise mid 50's though frequently stay at 53-54 mph, Charge at home ($.064 per kWh). We get freezing cold snaps, torrential downpours, frequent headwinds at 30 mph+. That means a lot of variability. Nonetheless, pretty happy with gas savings and truck performance. If I use cabin heat, always in winter at Auto 1 bar set a 65 degrees F. Keeps the windshield fog free and the cabin reasonably warm, particularly with seat heat at 1 or 2 bars.

Have fun.

Great information, thanks for giving us something to compare with our own personal experience.
Which Michelin tire did you select?

 

[Jseis]

Michelin Defenders. They seem to be fine. Put nearly 20,000 on them.

Thanks! I'll be needing new tires soon. I've used Defenders on my previous truck and my wife's vehicle and always had good luck. I wasn't sure how they'd perform on our heavier EV trucks. Good to know you're satisfied with them. Thanks again!
