My usual airport round trip, which is 95% highway, uses about 70% charge.
This is based on owning the truck a year and doing this trip 2 to 5 times a month.
I don't skimp on the speed and I run the HVAC like a normal person.
In general the truck sits at the airport a week each time.
This last week, with our cold snap, I was curious how it would go.
I left Mon am at 100% and pre-conditioned.
I got to the airport with 70% charge remaining and the GOM showing 174 miles.
A few nights got down in the 20.
It was 37 when I got back in it today.
70% SOC and 164 on the GOM.
I drove 15 miles opposite direction for errands and got home with 27% SOC with 53 miles on the GOM.

Side note: someone somewhere mentioned a wish list for some additional charging (software) options.
I schedule my charging between 11pm and 7am.
Right now, if I press the Charge to 100% button, no matter what time it is, charging begins.
I would rather when I need to go to 100%, hitting the Charge to 100% button would figure out when it needs to start vs just blindly starting right away.

sounds about right. Generally speaking all batteries love to be stored in the cold, they just can't deliver as much energy when its cold.
