We took our granddaughter on a 2 night Cub Scout camporee this weekend (her parents have a 4 month old at home!). She lives in northern Virginia and we live in coastal NC. It was a 900 mile round trip from Friday to Sunday, from Emerald Isle NC TO Gore VA via Centreville VA. On secondary roads, I95, I66, and more. We averaged 2.7 miles/kWh. I donāt do jackrabbit starts, but I did run 70-75 on the Interstate and will punch it to get around traffic. Bottom line is that an R1T thatās fully loaded (frunk, gear tunnel, and bed) is still pretty efficient. Interestingly, it seems to like hilly northern VA better than the flatlands, itās sensitive to pavement types, and is not as efficient in traffic jams (I95!) as my Bolt. But Iām very pleased with the efficiency, and confident in the range of 330+ in conserve mode, even when fully loaded. Got the R1T nice and dirty on the dirt roads to get to camp .
And charging from Electrify America was free this weekend in VA and NC. Score!
