Mach e gt mileage

[Happy]

I recently got a mach e GT and am wondering which drive mode gets you the highest mileage.
I like driving in unbridled mode, but something tell me I am losing mileage. I live in South Florida so weather is not an issue.

I believe that it's whisper but my GT also never leaves unbridled and I don't have any plans to find out. ?

The overall milage doesn’t really vary by drive mode. It’s basically a zero sum game.
Sprint to 70 then max regen back to a stop in unbridled.
Versus slowly ramp up to 70 then regen a little as you stop in whisper.
It’s more about how hard you use the pedals then about how the pedals are mapped.

Thanks for your response. I am really enjoying the car, but it's really big.

I agree with Rod - the modes don't make a difference if you drive the same way regardless of the mode.

Hard acceleration does use more battery than light acceleration, but you can accelerate hard in Whisper just by pushing the pedal more. Regenerative braking adds back charge, but is not as efficient as coasting. You can coast in Unbridled of course, it is just a little harder because the pedal is more sensitive.

The trick to achieve the best range I think is the same as with ICE - slow speed, easy and gradual acceleration, coasting whenever possible.

You must be used to very small cars! The Mach-e is about the same size as an ICE mustang. I will say the Mach-e feels tiny when I swap from my Raptor!

Check out this thread. Discussion about how coasting is more efficient than regen.
