I have a little data to share about the range I observed with my extended range battery (platinum trim) truck when both distance and elevation climbs are involved.

The trip is 167 miles one way where the first 110 miles are relatively flat (bay area to Sierra Nevada foothills) and the final 57 mile climb from about 200’ to 6300’ elevation.

We had about 500lbs of people and cargo. Truck was charged to 100%.

The first 110 miles were driven relatively conservatively, although there were plenty stretches of 75mph. I averaged 2.2mi/kwh until the climb began.

During the climb I averaged 1.1mi/kwh. I reached my destination with “67 miles” of range remaining.

So final numbers were 167miles driven one way, complete trip avg 1.9 mi/kwh, 6200’ elevation climb est. 95% energy to driving. About 67 miles remaining range.

I’ll be sure to post my clean truck once it is delivered…so you can enjoy those as well 😂

It RAINED on my clean truck up there mountains 😩🤓🤣…
On the way back down the mountain I averaged better than 5mi/khw.

I’d give stats from the app’s “my ev driving” , but it seems way wrong… the app is super buggy and this is par for the course

The first time I went to wash it I finally understand people that just take their vehicles somewhere to get it cleaned. My primary car to clean was/is my mustang. I do not complain about that anymore (although it is lowered, so bending down is a pain).

But a clean Red truck look so good

I only hand washed my Mustang, but it was black so if you didn' dry it immediately and perfectly you got water spots all over it. . It was purty though

How accurate was your miles remaining GOM? Probably cannot compensate for the elevation change but, I am curious.

Remember that the GOM doesn't compensate for elevation but the navigation system can.

The miles remaining adjusted to the new mi/kwh burn rate relatively quickly as I climbed the mountain. I knew that the slope would be pretty constant up to my destination. I believe I could have traveled another 60 miles up the same climb…

On the return trip it was guessing inity guessing 240miles range with a 100% charge…of course since it had such a low avg on the way up 🙃
