293 miles?

[medic2442]

Remember two things, you aren’t getting 293 miles unless you drive the car down to 0% to verify. The range will drop at varying rates as you drive depending on the things you mentioned. Warmer weather certainly ups the range as summer gets hotter. Also remember this post when in winter when it only says 200 miles!

(The 100% at a tesla charger comment was because it’s not recommended at DCFC Because of how long it takes. But it sounds like you dont have a home charger so its your only method to charge)

I have a home charger but live in an apartment complex. We have Blink level 2 chargers but they are more expensive at .49 vs. .32 at the Tesla Supercharger across the street. .32 is the same price as my home charger after 12 am. Besides our chargers are always taken up by ICE vehicles and my office does nothing about it. I used to plug a 240v extension cord into my dryer outlet to my parking spot and charge but the office said I can’t do that, that’s a trip hazard. I can’t do that but they do nothing about people parking in charging spots. ?

No. I charge at 4am when it’s .32 kHw and although it will take me over an hour 10-100% I spend less than $23.00 every 5-6 days. This morning I charged 2-100% and spent $23.87. I don’t mind sitting there for that long, it’s gives me the chance to hotspot to my laptop and get some work done.

Not having a home charger sucks. I pay $30 a month for my charging.
I can’t imagine owning an EV without living in a house.

Mine has b

Just charged to 100% at the Tesla Supercharger across the street from my house and got 293 miles. I have a 2024 Select with the LFP pack. Range is supposed to be 250 miles but lately I've been getting over that (272, 280 and now 293). I know it's summer and range can be particularly higher when it's the ideal temperature outside and your driving habits play a factor as well but other than that is there anything else that could be contributing to the increased range? Did Ford open up a few more cells during my last update? Did they make it more efficient and increase range? Curious to see if anyone has gotten that kind of range on an LFP pack?

Mine he’s been doing the same thing. Not up to 283 but I saw 275 on a 2021 GTPE charging to 100% at home. I don’t usually charge to 100% so I don’t know what is normal but I ignore it anyway because we all know it’s just a made up number and has little to do with the real world.

I actually have a house and can charge there, but it is cheaper for me to use the public L2 chargers near my work. I really think the key to more EV adoption (especially for apartment dwellers) is getting a lot of L2 chargers installed at workplaces.

I would love to have L2 chargers at my work. I'm an Amazon delivery supervisor and we don't even have the infrastructure therefore we don't have the Rivian EDV's. If we did I would use them to charge during the day.

Electricity must be expensive in your area. Luckily I pay around $0.11 per KwH
