It's still closer to what you can expect vs long term data. That's typical of any machinery. I was just making sure the OP knew it existed. What anyone does with it is up to them.
I keep a spreadsheet for my Lariat ER tracking the date of charge, miles driven since last charge and kWh added. My calculated mi/kWh at different ambient temperatures is pretty close to the values in your matrix.
It comes as a surprise to most new EV drivers that unlike their ICE vehicles, which get better fuel economy at steady highspeed on the highway than in city driving, EVs are LESS efficient at steady highspeed highway driving, than in the city. The reason is regenerative braking in the EV (helps its efficiency) vs. the extra gasoline required for accelerating in stop-and-go city traffic.
I wish that our Lightnings’ GOM Range display had a setting that (instead of the mysterious “guess” range that is the bane of so many on this forum) would display a “dynamic“ range based upon the instantaneous mi/kWh x the remaining battery kWh. On highway, you would know immediately how to adjust your driving in order to have enough range to get to the next charger (if you have 57 miles to go, drive so that your “dynamic range” number stays at or above 67mi, or whatever arrival safety factor you can tolerate).
100%, I also would much prefer the stored energy gauge be displayed in kWh not percentage. It is mind boggling to me that they measure efficiency by m/kwh, but then measure capacity by %
In these massive computers on wheels, no reason we can't have both. Imagine that, options.
It’s as though everything was geared toward the never-before EV owner, rather than the needs of the same driver after 6 months experience in their Lightning or MME.
Have you compared the displayed range to what you actually get? Once I did that, I started ignoring the GOM completely.
I'm too chicken to push it to the limit. I almost always recharge at 30% or higher. At home I rarely drop below 50%.
