XLT SR Kelowna BC to Langley in Winter

[m33pm33p]

Hello all!
I've got my fingers ready on a new 2024 xlt sr for $57k out the door and was wondering how everyone's experiences are going from vancouver to kelowna in the winter. I make this trip minimum once a month, and it seems to be my only range anxiety situation.

The highway regularly sees temperatures of -10c-20c and decent snowfall effectively reducing range in the 40-50% average from my research, maybe a little more as I prefer to run studded snow tires here.

Hit me with the good and bad of that hilly drive! I currently spend $700-1000 a month in gas alone as I drive an old truck and do 45,000km a year, do even a SR is a no brainer

Charge in Merritt and Hope the first time for peace of mind.

In the colder temperatures schedule your truck to warm up 20-30min before your departure and it will do a little better.

Look at an ER if you possibly can, join the facebook lightning canada group for direct contact with users. My ER uses ~35% battery going Hope to Merritt in nice weather at ~115kmh speeds, when it gets below 8°C I notice an increase in power used, when it is raining I notice an increase in power used. You will adore the fuel savings ! If you want to talk to me you can cyberstalk me from the name on the side of my truck.
