My experience from first road trip.Hey MME Folks,
This is my first electric car, and so far it's great. Anyway, I'm getting ready to go on a road trip next month was was wondering if there is a particular speed that maximizes efficiency? Any intel from more experienced electric car folks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I entered a destination, so the navigator consider the roads, weather and traffic on that route which gives an estimate range for that route.
At 70 mph, the speed limit, the predicted total range (miles driven +miles remaining) increased gradually by a few miles. At speeds over 75 it decreased steadily. On the return trip, keeping it between 70 and 75, the predicted miless were very closed.
I suspect that, if we drove under the speed limit, range would increase. That is our plan if we ever run short of miles.
