In a perfect world it's possible, but in reality, each drive is unique. You NEVER have the same weather, traffic, acceleration and so on. Just 1 degrees difference and your test is ruined. And I am not even speaking of the temp differences that occur on the drive itself. You can of course run this test, but it wont be 100% accurate. It can only give you an "idea". Same with the range test btw. If Kyle says this car can run about 300 mi max, then it is still possible that on the next day the same car would only do 295 mi. So there is ALWAYS a variance.

@emtambulance201 2 года назад

As a long-term firefighter with an engineering background, It is very dangerous to drive around with the water container in the back of your truck unless it is completely empty or completely full because of the water hammer effect and what it can do to you in an emergency situation.

@t.r.766 2 года назад

@alexnutcasio936 2 года назад

No one ever said Kyle was the sharpest knife in the drawer . Guess he didn’t get the message about sloshing water. Those containers aren’t even baffled to reduce the seiche effect. A simple 20 bags of tube sand ( 70 lbs each) would’ve given him 1400 lbs and safely too. Oh, and no worries about aerodynamic drag too.

@jeep6242 2 года назад

Very dangerous is over stating the case. It's not a smooth bore food tanker. This isn't any worse that towing a high surface area max GCWR trailer in terms of a double lane change avoidance and with the air ride probably better than non-adaptive suspension with a static load.

@paulw575 2 года назад

If it is all about the aero, then having the Lightning cab higher and exposing less of the payload to the wind should mean that the loss % will be less. So, I will guess an additional 4% range loss, compared to baseline for the Ford.

@Rottypiper 2 года назад

I agree Paul W.

@ElGuajiro48 2 года назад

I mostly agree with Paul W. As you both said is about aerodynamics. With the higher F150 Lighting cab less aerodynamic loss. However there is still a bit of water tank over the cab so I would say 5% loss.

@skylerwilliams 2 года назад

Solid logic & estimate, Paul! Stay tuned!

@McMooo587 2 года назад

I think the Lightning will have a lower % loss since I don’t think it will have as much of an aero impact (I’m assuming the water container sits lower and doesn’t extend as high above the roofline)

@skylerwilliams 2 года назад

You are correct about the aero. What is your % guess?

@davva360 2 года назад

Probably. Will be interesting to see though. There should be a smaller aero impact but more weight too. See how good Kyles assumption is. LOL

@PhillipStewartYYZ 2 года назад

That really is a major new understanding that it's the arrow that cuts down the range, not the weight of the payload. People have just been parroting that towing cut your range in half, but it's really what you tow.

@LearningFast 2 года назад

The weight would matter if your speed is not consistent or if your elevation changed significantly. At a constant highway speed on a flat highway weight won’t affect range significantly.

Great video. In all the tests I’ve done in my portuguese EV RU-vid channel I’ve always defended that weight in EV cars doesn’t make that much difference in consumption,nor the different driving modes. To explain the slightly higher consumption I would put my money on the fact that the water compartment is a bit higher than the car and that makes drag resistance increase. I’m a fan of your channel. Thank you for the excellent work.

@abraxastulammo9940 2 года назад

If you drive slow it should be proportional to the % weight increase at most?

You should do a city driving payload test also. On the highway your speed is steady so it's aero only. In start and stop city driving it's all about weight. Work trucks mostly do local driving so the city efficiency is what will determine costs.

@graemeesmith 2 года назад

Some mountain testing at full payload would be fun. Can the truck do Denver to Breck with that load? Obviously you’ll regen the energy coming back down but the max range between charging stops might start to become an issue. For extra fun: drive up into the mountains, fill up the tank, drive back and see if you can end up with more energy at the end. Lol.

@t0ny747 2 года назад

@usafgr4life 2 года назад

Difference of efficiency between the two trucks could be closer than expected. the Rivian levels out its load with air suspension (which enables similar drive angle) vs the lightning with a possible negative rake angle. The tires would be another factor, rolling resistance at max capacity. but just a thought...

@felixklusener5530 2 года назад

... but you can regen on the way down the mountain. That regen helps you to get back most of that energy spend to go up. The only downside is that it regenerates only around 80%, so there will be some impact in mountainous terrain but less than one would expect. For ICE cars the impact of terrain is way bigger since they can't regenerate any energy and just heat up their brakes.

@garetitz 2 года назад

what about repeating the test with the tank but without the water? that’ll closer capture the aero reduction amount vs weight. also, you should totally make an aero shell for the bed….

@MrSlowtarget Год назад

This has probably been considered but since max payload is such a negligible diff on range… Would it be possible to add a charging port/docking station in the bed of the R1T? The idea is that a person could “rent” an extended battery pack for long distance trips. Drop it off at the destination for charging while visiting and then load it back on for the return. (Like a UHaul battery without all the trailer drag/range loss since weight is less of an issue)

@Eric-xp1kl 2 года назад

Kyle, I guess I missed it, what is your Payload rating of your R1T? Especially since you have 22's and no off-road which seems somewhat rare in these early builds.

@nevea2be 2 года назад

First my guess is the F-150 loss less of a percentage towing since it’s closer to the roof line of the cab, less sail effect. How much weight did the water weight? You said there was about 160 gallons but not the weight.

@LanceT. 2 года назад

I would love to see how one of those aerodynamic wedges that you mount on top of a truck would affect the aerodynamics of towing. The reason that I am so curious about it is that the Rivian has a spoiler on the back of the cab that directs air downward. I can't help but wonder if the Rivian's spoiler actually makes towing less efficient for that reason.

@vhol93 2 года назад

@misplacedidentity1036 2 года назад

1:20 stupid question, how much is the water container vs cinder blocks to the weight?

@rodneylw10 2 года назад

Interesting video. My guess is that the F150 will show a similar 7% loss. The efficiency killer when towing is the wind resistance. That is why just towing at a lower speed makes a significant difference. I have an Airstream and if I tow at 70mph in my 2017 Ford f150 eco boost 10spd on flat ground I get between 11 and 12 mpg. If I slow down to 65 I get a strong 12 sometimes 13mpg. If I slow to 60mph then I go up about 2mpg. That is quite a change in my opinion.

I wonder what happens to efficiency on a climb. While a closed loop on a downhill will recover range lost going up, I am wondering if the hard shoulder of I70 ascending to Loveland Pass might be littered with loaded Rivians because the drivers all thought that load would not effect range much. It would be good to break out the climb from descent figures.

@felixklusener5530 2 года назад

With the Ford having a higher cab it should have less impact on areodynamics. My guess is the Fords efficiency decreases by only 5%. Your result matches Bjørn Nylands result testing a Kia Soul with maximum load by the way and it makes perfect sense, because any object accelerated to a certain speed will always keep its speed without energy added to the system. That means, that you don't need extra energy to maintain speed. In situations with more acceleration and deceleration the weight has an impact though, because the regen only works with about 80% efficiency. Would be nice to see some city driving comparison with and without weight added to the car. Greetings from Germany Felix

@@b2dmastersniper That's true, but the extra consumption resulting from it is too low to be measured. When Bjørn did his test with the electric Kia Soul he even had one round with maximum load and lower consumption than with an empty car. The reason for that is that you can not avoid all measurement errors. Even minor changes in driving conditions such as higher/lower temperatures, more/less wind, wind changing direction, more/less traffic on the road, etc. will impact consumption more than the increased rolling resistance. Check Bjørn Nylands video "How much range is lost with 400 KG weight in the car?" for more info.

Love these EV truck videos! I think the Ford will take a bigger penalty, simply because it's a bigger, heavier truck. 12-15% hit?

Great video, I think the lightning will lose less because it’s bigger then the rivian

5% for the f150. Looks like aero less impacted bc cab is higher

I think the Ford will have about the same efficiency loss in the full payload test because it does not appear that the tank in the bed extends over the roof as much reducing the aero drag but overall I don't think the base efficiency of the Ford is quite as good as the Rivian. Hence, they will end up equal. Excellent test but could be better with a static load and lower height of the load.
