First 700-mile tank of fuel

[Mavster Mechanic]

I'd be very curious what you'd get in a 25MY that seems willing to push the EV line to abouts 15% instead of 10% Power.

Or is that merely because of the bigger traction motor, but same amount of current applied?

Either way - would be interesting.

Loan me one.

I'm more than happy to test it.

I have gone over 800+ miles twice.
700+ miles per tank is typical.

Great weather conditions and 35 to 45 MPH roads yield fantastic results day in and day out.

Almost zero elevation change.
But my home is a little higher up than my work. Maybe 50 feet. This was going home last night. The slightly uphill route.

Wow, your results are truly amazing! Can you see yourself ever going back to an ICE?

Tough question.

Only because I have two trailers I pull on a regular basis. Both between 3,000 and 4,000 lbs.

Maverick Hybrid will do it; but top speed is about 60 MPH.

A larger hybrid may be in my future.

With age comes the wisdom that there is no such thing as an "all purpose vehicle". Maverick is about as close as it gets though.

I will probably go EV for commuting and get something larger for towing... when the Maverick wears out.

I also could see us purchasing an EV for around town errands and short trips.

Before purchasing the Maverick, I was thinking about a Ford Power-Boost, but I was trying to downsize from having many full-sized pickups in the past. Since I'm not hauling all of the equipment that I used to carry around the Maverick is all I need at this time.
