2023 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT Yearlong Review: Road-Trip Range Strategies
Increasing average speed from 55 to 80 MPH cuts range by about 1/3.
"First, allow us to recap our Michigan Lightning XLT's official Motor Trend Road-Trip range: 240 miles. That reflects the reasonable distance you can hope to drive after charging up to 100 percent at home, pulling onto a lightly traveled highway that allows mostly constant cruising at 70 mph, and driving the battery down to 5 percent charge (a reasonable safety cushion)."
"... at highway speeds, aero drag dwarfs the power consumption attributable to factors like rolling resistance, climate-control, or accessory loads."
".. the real-world driving range is more than 100 miles below the EPA combined estimate at 80 mph."
"... the best long-trip strategy for our imperfect world with scattered charging stations in varying states of repair typically involves programming your EV's native navigation system and then possibly getting a second opinion from an app like Plug Share or A Better Route Planner (the former's users are great about reporting malfunctioning chargers). Those apps will tend to minimize trip duration by running the battery down to around the 20-percent mark, at which point the battery can typically accept max charging and scheduling shorter charges."
" Yes, over a 1,000-mile trip, maintaining a constant 80 mph saves 50 minutes of driving time versus driving 75 mph, but 45 minutes of that are consumed by the three additional 15-minute charging stops, for an ideal savings of less than 5 minutes (which the time of slowing, hooking up, etc. surely consumes).
If you can tolerate 70 mph driving, you'll eliminate another two charging stops, stretching the total journey time by another 28 minutes relative to the 75-mph time, but quite possibly clawing some of that back in logistical time savings.
We extrapolated an estimate for 85 mph, and wow does that extend the journey!"
" If you just hate frequent stops, you're welcome to extend the charging sessions to 30 or 45 minutes (though some of the latter could potentially stray above the 80-percent charge point at which fast chargers significantly slow down, which would throw off our numbers). The overall time penalty is less than we'd have expected (and seems small enough to be offset by savings in actual time slowing, hooking up, unhooking, and resuming travel). The 55 mph trip duration is only extended by 3 percent (30 minutes) by swapping seven 15-minute stops for three 45-minute ones, while the 80 mph one is 8 percent longer (75 minutes) with ten 45-minute chargers instead of 22 15-minute ones."
