Estimated range of a SR battery truck @ 65 or 60 MPH?

[Rando]

So glad that you have done your homework on cold temperature effects on EVs.

Driving style has such a huge impact on range that most people don't realize that an EV is not an ICE.

I am a forum moderator / admin on a Honda EV/PHEV/FCV message site and every fall thru early spring, many start complaining about range so I am used to the "cycle" of: defects, warranties, dealer visits, and threats to sue the manufacturer.

I am very fortunate to live in a warm weather part of the country as @bryan995 pointed out that the lowest temps we get are low 60 degrees in the December/January with clear sunny skies.

I believe it. It never ceases to amaze me the lack of research or forethought people put into such large purchases.

Well said - there are lots of people who buy an EV and then realize it's not for them.

We are about T-minus 2 months (or so) from when the cold weather range reduction posts will start coming in. I have considered putting together an FAQ to try to head some of them off, but I doubt it would make a dent.

When do you think we will see the first "Did Ford put an SR battery in my ER truck?" post? I am guessing early Nov.

A XLT SR just finished the 1000 mile arctic road rally between Fairbanks and the Arctic Ocean yesterday. It successfully completed the trip. Now, if we can just get the data from the driver.
