HI All,
Planning a long distance trip - thanksgiving.
Phoenix --> San Diego
I am usually a speedy driver.
My last trip ... I went 80 mph on average. Stopped twice. Usually a 5hr min trip in an ICE became close to a 7 hr trip.
Thinking of how to decrease charging time / frequency.
I saw a post recently that changing from 65 mph to 75 mph in a Model 3 decreases range by about 30 miles. (I would expect a more significant decrease in my XC40 due to drag coeff. / etc.)
I figured that decreases travel time by ~ 15 minutes in a normal 150 mile leg. Lower state of charge --> faster charging time at lower end.
I only do long distance travel once every 3 months and I'm thinking of using my ICE vehicle to cut out that extra 2 hrs.
sorry for rambling post...
What works for most people / or your experience on longer trips? To minimize journey time.
Speed limit vs +5 mph over speed limit vs + 10 mph over speed limit ... etc
