Took a 78 mile interstate ride this PM. 27-28F and breezy.
Heat set at 70F, e-heat on, fan locked on 1. Cabin was perfect. Both seat heaters on and heated wheel.
2 Adults and 100# of cargo. Unplugged from the charger at 93% in Augusta, Maine. Exited in Bangor Maine.
Absolutely awesome BlueCruise set on 72 the entire way. Speed limit 70. A few passes of slow folks along the way. I am blown away by how well Bluecruise works. I never had to hold the wheel in a turn and it never pulled left at off ramps. This system is grand.
2.3 Mi/kWh or 2.3x88=203 miles of Range! I was astonished. Considering an EPA of 270 and I estimated 33% range loss, that results in only a 25% loss. Considering that’s over 70 MPH and well below freezing, no complaints.
Last evening we drove 96 miles, cruise set at 62 MPH, (probably averaged 50-55) hilly travel, 34-35F snow and rain the whole trip. Heat set on 68F, 2 seats and wheel on, 3 Adults. We averaged 2.6 mi/kWh or 2.6*88=229 miles.
I have no complaints about the Mach E in Winter weather. The GOM is not accurate yet but with only 557 miles on the car there’s more time to calibrate.
