Ford Mustang Mach-E GT 70-MPH Highway Range Test 

Oh god. I’m wasted

Who owns the liquor store?

1:24 in and I'm wasted.

Nice public mentoring @KyleConnor

i was going to restart the video and count them, not sure i can count that fast.

Soothing yes, I have almost felt aroused

Arrrrrr I’m glad you counted them to 😂😂

Yea seems about right. Went 215 miles today. 23 gtpe. Started at 100% ended at 15% (42 miles). Running 70ish, up and down mountains quite a bit. Was warm out though. 85ish. Pretty close to the 260 range given by ford

Correct, no tele prompter and you are trying to remeber a lot once it starts recording. People also tend to forget this is a one shoot video, no popping back to fix something.

@@garydmercer oh that’s weird.. no. Was getting an error when trying to post hey they all went through.

Climate has marginal impact, compute and electronics? Hardly. Modern SoC's used in cars are pretty darn power-efficient, and even if they were like a full gaming PC (375W at load) they'd still be nothing compared to the output of motors and just doing the work of moving forward against air resistance with pneumatic tires. No idea how efficient Ford's software stack is but I doubt BlueCruise takes more than 20W to run.

Video presenting is hard if you try it. Took me a while to get anywhere acceptable. Be nice.

guarantee you do a weird vocal thing you don't know about.

I don't charge it on a regular to 100% tho and not 270 in the cold.

The 270 miles EPA estimate is a mix of city and highway. EVs consume more energy on the highway.

@@officialyasir exactly

You’re not accounting for regen.

@@anthonyc8499 Is there really 6 plus kw of region on the freeway? 7.8 kw if you account for the 2% state of charge the car had at the end of the video. And yes I am aware he pulled off towards the end and did a little bit more braking.

97 kWh is the total capacity, 91 kWh usable. Base your calculation on 91 kWh, and you'll probably get closer to the results shown in this video.

@@vincentrobinette1507 The outcome of the video showed 2.4 miles/kw. You can only USE 91 kw TOTAL. 91kw times 2.4 miles/kw equals 218.4 miles driven. They drove 233.6 miles. And they had 2% state of charge left. The math does not add up. The 97 kWh imaginary number was a result using the miles driven and miles/kwh stated in the video.

Ok….then they lied about 15 additional miles! 🙄

Ok

100% fact!

he got fired :(

@@mrpogi23 Too bad, he was good

He left for a researcher job in academia. Better benefits…

He entered the Witness Protection Program.

I hear he is working for Twitter now.

at the end of the video, the clock showed 5:17 pm and then later the display said time to charge to 80% was 6:25 pm

Would cost me 8 bucks to drive max. If power is out you don't get gas pumps run off electric.

@@rondavis2791 yeah but most cars have a 400 to 500 mile range on a tank of gas, and I can carry an extra 5 gallons of fuel if necessary can you carry extra power. look electric cars are nice but the US power grid is not sufficient to provide the additional strain electric cars require, plus the 60 thousand plus price tag and the 6 year life of the battery is a bit concerning. How do you get rid of your car if totaled in an accident, pretty sure you can't just take it to the scrap yard, that battery is hazardous waste

@@ricblic901 my car didn't cost no 60 grand

​@@rondavis2791 No clue where some people get their data about EVs from. Is it that they just regurgitate what they hear on anti EV media, is it that they have never driven one for at least a few days, is it just plain ignorance, or is it just trolls being trolls. There are many EVs under $40k, used batteries are hard to get because they are very valuable, batteries can last decades, and just like when air-conditioners were introduce and Central HVAC units, the grid will be able to grow to accommodate the new energy demand and the list goes on. Those are simple facts that any EV owner knows and that anyone can verify online. We humans sometimes don't do any research before making comments about things that we think we know about but obviously don't know anything about. Don't get me wrong, EVs are not practical for everyone but if you can charge at home, have a daily commute of less than 150 miles, have a reliable charging network in your country or areas traveled while taking long trips, owning an EV is definitely the best choice. As long as it can be afforded.

Tell me you know nothing about EV's without telling me you know nothing about EV's.

It’s getting right about it’s EPA certified highway mileage of 77 mpge. I agree that 2.4 kWh/mile seems a little low, but I’d guess that Blue Cruise is probably not the most efficient way to highway travel. I always get better mileage without cruise control. I average 2.3 kWh/mile in much worse weather than that at 90% highway speeds in my standard range Lightning.

@@brucewachtman3495 In "real" Winter, with a bit snow, zero to minus 5 celsius, maybe some sleet or rain, with strong winds i get down to 2.5mi/kWh Now where its warm and dry again i get about 3.8-3.9 mi/kWh in my Model Y. I drive as much as possible on AP, 130+ km/h / 82+ mph on the Autobahn, 19 degrees climate with heated seats and steering wheel. I've removed the aerocaps from my wheels, i don't like them. 2.3kWh/mile sounds extremly much, that is 812Wh/km or 81 kWh/100 km? Isn't it the other way around? 2.3 mi/kWh?

@@wolfgangpreier9160 I inverted that. I guess that would be 812wh/km. I drive mostly highways at 100-115 kmh. Since I bought it in late January the temperatures have been in the 0-4 Celsius range. I think I should be easily able to achieve 2.5 miles per kWh in warmer weather. After 65kmh the aero drag knocks the efficiency way down. Around town in stop and go driving it’s been getting 3.5-3.8 miles per kWh.

@@brucewachtman3495 Sounds perfect for a city car then. But you have a much larger battery. That alleviates the higher consumption.

@@wolfgangpreier9160 I agree it would work better as a city car efficiency wise. I’m using it as a commuter on a 70 mile round trip drive daily. The mileage doesn’t bother me as it still costs under half of what a comparable gas version would cost to drive the same distance
