The Hits Just Keep on Coming (Ford News)

[rdr854]

I have a full year, so I’ve experienced all 4 seasons, in with 16,000 miles and all season tires the whole time and precondition daily with an insulated garage in winter and my lifetime is 1.8 mpk in fairly mixed city/hwy use so I don’t think 1.4 sounds that odd. Especially dealing with rain and some payload

I’ve had my truck since the end of July 2022 with just under 12,000 miles. Since purchase, my truck says the average usage is 2.7 miles per kilowatt hour. My driving is a mix of highway trips and local, suburban driving as well as windy rural roads.

I drive my truck gently and my top speed on the Interstate is between 60 and 65 mph if the speed limit is above 55. I also don’t use the heat and rely on the heated steering wheel and seats. In Summer, no AC, unless is is super hot, and then I set the temp to about 79 or 80. If no AC, temp set to LO and the fan to 1 or 2. Truck is parked outside and rarely preconditioned before use.

Resurrecting the EV focus (or a model that would be well suited for fleet vehicles) would be great, but please not a compliance version with an 80-110 mile range.

How will this draw down affect the charging infrastructure? Give enough time to upgrade and expand, or cede it to Tesla.

Pass on 150 mile summer range

I can't even imagine lower than the 220 on SR. 150 seems unbearable unless you're retired and only going to the corner market.
