Roamer, on your trip from Nephi to Beaver, you show 100 miles at 457 Wh/mi. Was that a fairly constant 75 mph or a lower average speed. Just trying to get a feel for the energy usage at different speeds. Thanks.
That leg was run at 80 to 82 mph most of the run. Temps from 12 to 22 degrees. For part of the run I double tapped defrost to run everything on HI to clear the fog off all the windows as I drove thru some light fog. When I took the picture I had dropped to 75 mph because I was hitting patches of fog. Not bad but just decided to slow a little bit.
I would say that run was the coldest and fastest of the entire trip. I knew I had plenty of range to make the Beaver SC so had no reason to baby it. Roads were clear and dry. I ate dinner at the Nephi SC so I had a higher charge than normal. Glad I had the higher charge.
As a side note I am usually dealing with 100 to120 degree conditions in AZ. I don't do a great deal of cold weather driving anymore. I swear the Super Chargers really crank out the amps when it is that cold. I was getting higher amps for longer periods than I ever recall getting in Arizona in the summer.
