I've been thinking about battery range some more and thought it might be useful to start up a more local conversation. Not sure of all members in the Phoenix area, but I was able to identify a few: @SnBGC @Evermore @nrevezzo @urmyboyblue and @zhackwyatt.
Mustang Mach-E will be my only vehicle. I opted for the standard range RWD for a few reasons:
What do you all think? I know some of you are going with SR and some ER. I'm curious to know what factors you thought about and how you decided?
Thank you!
Mustang Mach-E will be my only vehicle. I opted for the standard range RWD for a few reasons:
- Cost and weight for additional ~70 miles is significant.
- I was previously considering a ~170 mile Hyundai Ioniq Electric or ~258 mile Hyundai Kona EV and thought the range of either of those would be fine.
- Most of my driving is commuting and errands.
- Phoenix metro is a big area, but the longest drive to a friend's place wouldn't be more than 50 miles each way.
- On the rare trip to Tucson or Flagstaff, I can stop at a DCFC if needed, not a big deal.
- On a slightly more rural trip, let's say to Show Low as an example, there isn't enough charging infrastructure (unless overnighting at certain places), even when considering a 300 mile range vehicle.

Thank you!
