Our latest outing (test) went something like this. A Better Route Planner said we could make it to the Colorado Springs supercharger with 14% battery left from our house in Brighton. I used the numbers from my previous test to calculate, but didn’t trust it all the way so I played it safe and charged in Centennial 38 miles away. Newly installed chargers pictured. Consumed 977 Wh/m.
We charged and moved on to the Springs for more charging. Had to unhitch to use those chargers located in a parking garage, not a very convenient location so looking forward to Monument opening. Used 821 Wh/m for that leg now totaling 873 Wh/m so far.
After charging up we headed to our final destination at the Royal Gorge KOA. Total trip was 146.2 miles consuming 884 Wh/m. Not to shabby pulling a 25 ft full size trailer at pretty much max weight. There was some wind at times but nothing bad and I kept speed under 68.
On the return we had to unfortunately stop at the Springs again to charge. From the KOA to there used 917 Wh/m.
This time we decided to roll the dice and go all the way home without stopping to charge. ABRP said we could do it with about 20% battery left but there was a headwind in places. Well we made it with 17% battery. That leg was 92 miles using 823 Wh/m and totaling 149 miles consuming 857 Wh/m.
Overall, very pleased with the consumption. Yes, of course I’d like better but all things considered I’m content. I’ll continue to hunt for aerodynamic advantages to help usage. I guess that’s part of the fun.
