Real world heating data for 2024 in the cold

[MADequipment]

For all those potential shoppers out there wondering if this truck is for them, I’d like to add my 0.02.

I own a 24 Lariat and live in the frigid state of MN but in the metro area which is lots of sprawl.

I run heated seats and heated steering wheel always with cabin temp at 72F. At most my commutes will hit 120 miles per day but with traffic since I’m in the suburbs, that’s typically a 45 mph average. If you calculate the MPH average for my trip today, it’s 28 because it’s very slick out today on the roads. Quite frankly anyone doing 70mph when it’s sub freezing is being pretty risky.

So on this blustery cold day of 18F, here’s my data with preconditioning to start the day off. I have a home charger and I consider that a prerequisite for EV ownership. If charged to 90% per Ford recommendations, this gives me a range of about 210.

24 is ER only on Lariat, isn't it?

Probably, BUT I'm trying to get folks to properly document their model year & trim with battery configuration in profiles or signatures, to make useful helpful tip threads like this has been intended to make it clear to new and veteran members without digging and asking.

This issue can be compounded by bad data on the motherships own sales platform , oyyyyyy

I've pointed this put in other threads, come on FORD!

Extended. I purchased extended knowing cold was going to have this effect

I will say that the heat pump appears quite effective. Not until it was below 30F did I see efficiency go below 2.0 mi/kwh

What is your opinion of the noise level when it's working hard and you're in traffic or sitting still?

It is very loud when outside the vehicle. Can’t hear anything major once inside- just seems like a faint white noise. No vibrations.

I’ll do a decibel reading inside and outside next time.

Wow, that heat pump has a huge impact. Finally some real world data. I was losing roughly 25% range when I had mine and it got cold outside.
