Prep for our first road trip in the F-150 Lightning [updated w/ trip stats]

[oneguynick]

These are our trip stats from Standish Michigan to Mackinac City. The trip is mostly long straight highway with a steady grade increase. Average speed 75mph

What was your battery state of charge when you arrived? I'm assuming if you left with 100% charge and averaged 1.6 Mi/kWH that you had about 35 kWH left in the battery?

Exactly

I will be pulling a travel trailer as you are so this really has my interest. I believe you were pulling an Airstream or was that in the future? If so would you mind sharing the weight & length of your trailer?

Looking back on this thread it appears no trailer this trip. I will certainly be following your future trips!

I will normally tow a 23fb airstream. I should have stats in a week or two when I go camping

Great look forward to hearing about it.

Does the display show battery percentage remaining, or just estimated range remaining?

If you look at the picture above it shows estimated range remaining as well as a guage that goes from 0 to 100 (no exact number) on the right side of the range

Our bolt told us range remaining and showed 5 percent increments of battery capacity remaining and efficiency (miles/kWh)
Volvo phev shows range and has a battery guage with 20 lines, though it corespondents to about 6kwh of useable battery.
Volvo EV shows percent of capacity remaining and efficiency (kWh/100 miles).
I was wondering if the lightning guage actually showed the percent remaining, or if it is information available on a different screen?

It looks like you were bucking a head wind. How bad?

Thanks

Not all bad. Less than 9mph give or take

@oneguynick - Did you ever think for half a second that being the first delivery, might just not be all it was cracked up to be? Welcome to the forum ! LOL

Nick - thanks for tolerating us. Looking forward to your blog and end user evaluations.
