The video is in Norwegian, but you can make a translate of the plain text. https://www.rohneselmer.no/nyheter/...j-rte-nye-mustang-mach-e-807-2-km-uten-a-lade
After a long drive, from Trondheim, via Østerdalen, Oslo and E18 further south, the battery and the drive ended just outside Kristiansand on Sunday night. By then, they had traveled 807.2 kilometers, more than 500 miles, without charging the all-electric SUV along the way. It gives an average consumption of 11 kWt / 100 km.
The two have previously driven both Ford Mustangs with over 300 HP on a tank of petrol, up to what was then a world record of 1249 kilometers. They also set what was most likely a world record with a Ranger pickup in 2017. Then they traveled a full 1616 kilometers, from Oslo to Kautokeino, without refueling.
- Very good with low autumn temperatures and a mountain pass
- It is only to congratulate Knut Wilthil and Henrik Borchgrevink with this fantastic achievement. In several range tests, the Mustang Mach-E has proven that it is among the electric cars on the market today that are among the very best in range. What they do with such low autumn temperatures and a long ascent on the mountain, shows the potential it has to be able to drive very cheaply and far, even for those who are not as extreme eco-drivers as these two record holders, says CEO of Ford Motor Norway, Per Gunnar Berg.
The long journey south they switched to being drivers. However, both were in the car during the entire drive. Before leaving Trondheim, the car's charging hatch was sealed.
Along the way, in addition to the many hours they spent in minus degrees in line at Tynset, they had a few short stops for a change of driver and to get past other traffic, but otherwise kept a lower and steady speed all the time.
- This trip from Trondheim is no ordinary drive. Here we have planned for all eventualities along the way, including driver change. The goal is to keep a steady low speed, with as few start and stop situations as possible. This means that everything from rush hour traffic to temperatures, precipitation and wind are considered. We have also been very careful with the use of air conditioning as experience has shown that it requires a lot of energy, says Henrik Borchgrevink.
Smooth driving at lower speeds without stopping
The two experienced eco-drivers have the following advice for those who want to try to "eco-drive" with their electric car, or car with a more traditional driveline.
- Drive smoothly and keep your eyes fixed far in front of you on the road to be able to plan your driving as best as possible and avoid full stops. To get as far as possible, you also have to keep a lower speed and accelerate evenly and not too slowly when you go up in speed, says Knut Wilthil.
No indication of what a slow speed is to achieve 11Kw/100km but I would guess it took well over 8 hours to do 800 km. Nice to see but not practical for many.
Here is some translated text from the drive. They did not exceed the speed limit, rather a bit under and probably not over 50mph.No indication of what a slow speed is to achieve 11Kw/100km but I would guess it took well over 8 hours to do 800 km. Nice to see but not practical for many.
