5 hours oh charging is not bad for a 50 hours trip. But damn the cost was high. Slightly less than what a 20 MPG ICE car would have cost @ $4 a gallon, but still a bit high.

I’m still using my free kWhs, I have no concept of how much is reasonable.

Trips I’ve taken on the Eastern part of US the Mach E comes out a little cheaper than my wives 2016 Edge to drive once you factor the charging to 100% at home before leaving and I always had free charging at my destination. Without that it would have come out to about the same.

But much cheaper the rest of the year I’m not taking road trips.

A reminder that $400 CAD is currently $278.63 USD.

I did a 5,200km round trip from Whitehorse to near Saskatoon a couple of weeks ago. The local CBC affiliate caught wind and wanted to talk to me about it... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/autos/ele...-mustang/vi-AA1w3hzY?ocid=socialshare#details
Good story. Yeah if you have the time, the MME is a great way to go. Recently I went on a 4200+ mile road trip. ABRP estimated around 26 hrs total charging time. That would have been like 3 days of my 2 week vacation, which I didn't have, so I opted for ICE. Eventually when it takes 5 minutes from 20-80, it will be different (for me)

IMO ignore the EV part you are spending 3 days of the vacation driving on a trip like that. Not sure how that’s worth it in 2 weeks when planes exist.
