Here you go, my latest trip in the Mach E. It's significant because my data shows these cars can actually be quite efficient even running the heat.
Let's start with the background my car is an ER AWD Premium with 18" select wheels and 225/60/18 104V Vredestein Quatrac 5 all-weather tires installed. This care was built in February and delivered in March it has about 15k miles on it and has not had the customer calibration update. The Quatrac tires are technically are not winters but do have the 3PMSF winter rating for traction. I preheat the car, set a departure time, and then set the heat and fan on automatic. The way up I set the heat to 70 degrees and on the way back to 67 because I was getting too hot.
I used cruise control all the way and my cruse is set for 4MPH over the speed limit.
The first leg went really well with the cabin preheated the car averaged 3.1m/KWH
Most of this was at 69MPH
In the second part unfortunately I forgot to take a picture it averaged 2.6m/KWH. Speed increases in this section to 74MPH
I charged in Alexandria, MN, and had lunch. After lunch, the car averaged 2.6m/KWH at 74MPH
the next day I traveled from Fargo to Detroit Lakes, MN in the morning it was colder than the rest of the days 18 degrees I did set a departure time and drove 74mph averaged 2.5m/KWH
Below is the photo from my trip back to Forgo from Detroit lakes, MN
Next is my trip back to Saint Paul, MN. Temp was in the high 20's and it snowed about 3 inches. I preheated the car and this pic is from my first stop.
The last photo is at Home in Saint Paul, you can see I just wanted to get home with speeds 80+ mph and some fun acceleration. I also hit some traffic when I got back into the cities and the efficiency figure went up.
From the other posts, I have seen I think this is a very good result. I attribute efficiency to the 18" tire setup it just seems to work well. I have had a few trips around in the metro be over 3.5m/KWH so this may be the hot setup for winter.
Note I switched out the center caps and lug nuts to black look better IMHO
