lol oops the site had put it as a mach e ill delete itThis image is from a Karma press release from about 5 months ago: https://www.karmanewsroom.com/news/...ectric-e-flex-platform-for-economic-mobility/
Well it can get quite cold here too...The interesting thing is they keep on talking about Michigan, nothing against Michigan but your cold testing in Michigan cannot compare to the temps we get in Northern Quebec
Just remember that 99% of people will never make it past the 1000 cycle point on that chart. If it represents full cycles of the battery (88 kWh), that's 88,000 kWh * 3.5 miles/kWh (est.) = 308,000 miles.Since they standardized to full cycle equivalents this really says two things:
1) stay in the mid-range
2) short cycles are better than deep cycles.
Both of those make sense. It's unfortunate the figure doesn't have 10% SOC charging at multiple parts of the range. Is 75-65% good because it is only 10% or because it is near the middle. Would 90-100% be the same?
Geography (latitude). I think northern Michigan (Smithers Winter Test Center) would be the best representation for temps and snow (great lake effects) in the states. The start of northern Canada. Last longer the farther you go up and less day light.Well it can get quite cold here too...
Source please; was that released by Ford? I have seen it before but could not confirm; it is old (early) right?chassis with battery
There was a report in these forums that someone has seen the Mach-E prototype's in Alaska...Geography (latitude).

It obviously isn't as clear of an image but it looks like it was in their presentation from ThursdaySource please; was that released by Ford? I have seen it before but could not confirm; it is old (early) right?
Yes and the abuse some driver might put on the battery, like DCFC to often or charging at 100% everyday when even it's not needed, so being carefull here on the start is a smart decision.I don't even think its from charging i thibk it might be the actual driving theyre worried about.
The image was also shown to press on November. You can see it in Jalopnik's article on the engineering behind the Mach-E.It obviously isn't as clear of an image but it looks like it was in their presentation from Thursday
Yep, that was me. I saw one here last October. Also, Darren Palmer once mentioned Alaska testing. I’ll be sure to update the forum on real-world arctic testing when my FE gets here in December. Not that Canadians and Michiganders can’t do a reasonable imitation of cold, but -25 is for amateurs. -40 is in the ballpark, but a week or so at -50 should be a real test.There was a report in these forums that someone has seen the Mach-E prototype's in Alaska...
