4.4 mi/kwh

[the golden eel]

lol, neither. Just curious if others were having similar results. One of the ev calculator websites has my mach e defaulted to 2.7 mi/kwh, so I was a bit shocked when mine was actually running at 4.4.

I see you're in Wisconsin. You've only had it for 6 months of nice weather. Your mi/kwh will lessen when it gets cold outside and will crater when it's below 0.

Many times in the summer I will see 4.1 or 4.3 on the way home from work, and on cold winter days I normally see 2.something.

Like a few have already said... after a while you don't even look, because it just doesn't matter.?

Unfortunately, February - March here ain't all that nice

In town I've gotten 4.7 miles per kw in my gt in unbridled, no one pedal drive. The freeway i get 2.5 to 2.7 m/kw at 80mph.

that's what i get as well

I've had my Mach E for over 6 months, ~6,000 miles and I'm averaging 4.4 mi/kwh. Seems to be really high. Is that similar to what others are experiencing? I have a Select AWD.

Better get prepared for 1.8 mi/kWh in January...

yep, with my Time Of use package with comed and the fact that I can level 2 charge for free at work could honestly care less about efficiency. Just got notified by Comed that my $2400 check is on it's way for my installation of a mobile charger at my house too! Great time for me to be driving an EV. (with the exception I live in crappy IL)

I have a brand new 2024 Premium4-X and have also been seeing 4.1-4.4 m/KWh. I usually drive in Whisper mode, my mix is 60/40 city/hwy, and I follow a ‘don’t aggravate (other drivers)’ approach to acceleration and cruising speed. So I try to blend in with traffic without holding anyone up, but I’m also definitiely not a Prius hyper-miler either. I find that even driving like this, the instant electric torque creates instant, and growing, separation when I’m leading the pack away from a green light, and so I still get to my cruising speed faster than the ice-age cars following me. The fact is, most of the traffic circumstances I confront during my daily driving here in SE PA don’t allow a more playful approach to driving anyway, so this style ‘meets the need’ and provides better than expected efficiency.
Am I missing out on the ‘fun’ the Mach-E was designed to deliver under the other two driving modes?…….I suppose so. So then after I’m satisfied that I’ve established a reliable efficiency baseline with this current driving style, I plan to switch to engaged to see how much I lose, and a couple of months later, switch up to unbridled. Again, I’m not sure how much more ‘playful’ I can be, but I definitely will give it a try to see what I’m missing. I predict that engaged will be a good fit, but that unbridled might be a bit much For my driving environment.

I don't consider fun factor for a car, they're pretty much only utilitarian to me. I get it for others though, instant torque is fun. I'm an engineer so I view the fun acceleration as higher torque which means more wear on the tires and drivetrain.

Dude, I am an engineer, too. We already have "that" reputation; don't feed it! Kidding (not really).

I have free charging at work too, but people keep buying EV's so competition for those two spots has gotten fierce

yeah, i know. At the highs school I frequently sub at now that I am retired there is an AMC with Four Level 2 chargers, as well as a Panera Bread with two, across the street is an amazon Fresh store with Two, as well as a Walgreens with Two, Finally there is an Aldi food with 2 as well. all within walking distance. Need to get there early if you want to use one!

My 2023 C8 HTC might be able to change your mind on that.. and if not, I feel sad for you....lol

 

[JeffGo]

My daily repeatable is 3.1-3.3
I can't for the life of me figure out how it could possibly be that efficient while allowing me to do the things I do.

When I finally grow up, I suspect it will get even better? I'm nearing retirement. So maybe sooner than later.

Nah. I've been retired for 6 years, second Mach-E. This one's a GT, so it would be criminal to not give it a little exercise. Although nearly all of my driving is around town. And since we've got some hills, I would love to average 3.3. That's closer to my high.

I get in the mid 4s around town but low 3s on the highway at 70mph.

I strongly believe my battery's capacity (MachE premium, standard range, 2023.5 with a LPF battery) is overstated. Been driving it for close to 10 months, winter through summer in Southern California with mild to favorable temperatures. Even though it clocks 3.5mi/kWh on average it is off by 20-50miles in range driven (not predicted). Claimed 250 miles, yields 200-230mles (winter-summer respectively). That's close to ~10% off the speced 72kWh battery cap, 65kWh realistically. Sad.

I've had Premium LFP RWD for 3 months, 2300 miles. I think I have only had a couple trips that were under 4.0. But, all my trips either start or end with 5+ miles on country roads at 40-45 mph. They love "chip and seal" roads around here. The last full charge, the dash read 305-mile range for the 250-mile battery.
