hi. I always run the truck in High Regen (I really like the one pedal driving on all EVs that I drive). When itās this cold, Iāve noticed that the battery temp climbs approximately 1 deg F for about every 7-8 miles driven (at least in my truck it does)
My ā22 R1T seems to do fine in the cold too (right now as I write this itās 6F outside, and truck lives outside; see previous posts Iāve made about cold efficiency recently). But where I live it never really gets much colder than low single digits F and it rarely does that even. But -33F...
Oh, forgot to mention that there was near zero Regen for the first half of the day until the battery got over 30F. The first couple of client stops you can see the average efficiency in the 1.6x range but it keeps climbing throughout the day as the battery slowly warms up ending up at a final...
Following my post of last week, today was very cold and windy with 3ā of snow last night. As requested I took pics this time from start and throughout my commute. The truck was dead cold when I left in the morning (hadnāt been driven or plugged in for 2 days) and I stopped throughout the day...
it seems to take a little time to really start warming up (reminds me of my ICE cars in cold weather) but it is very comfy after a little while with the cabin set to 70 (vents on floor and front of dashboard) and with the heated seats on 2 and the steering wheel heat on.
I guess I should add that here where I live (Wilmington DE area) we donāt have big elevation or mountain passes! We are flat with small hills (I doubt my total elevation climb and fall over the 93 miles was more than a few hundred feet)
this statement I think Iād agree with whole heartedly. I use this truck to visit clients and I rarely drive less than 30-50 miles a trip (todayās 93 was a little more than average but not uncommon). So ya if it loses a lot in the first 10 miles but then comes back to near normal in the next 40...
I wonder if the 20AT tires hurt it more in cold weather? My 21s are the original ones and are pretty worn out (low resistance maybe?). Iāve got 4 new 21ā ones ready to go on soon but havenāt put them on yet. I keep my pressures up at 50 cold psi. (As the temp has been dropping here Iāve been...
About half of my 93 miles today was on I95 and I476. I was going 55 to 70 mph there. The other half was on smaller back roads. I was going 35-50 on those.
I press the truck icon in the center display (itās what I like to leave the display showing - it has all the temp gauges and distance travelled and efficiency number) and before I leave the house I zero out the mileage / efficiency display and at the end of the trip I note the mileage (for my...
That 93 miles was round trip for me! The winds were very noticeable especially on the highway they were pushing the truck around. Mostly cross winds Iād say. On normal summer days Iād get 2.5-2.6 mile per kwhr doing that same trip
Today I drove my ā22 R1T Quad on a 93 mile trip; about 50/50 Interstate and back roads. The truck had been sitting outside for the last 5 days undriven (it vampire drained 11 kwhr in that time. Thatās typical for mine). My truck has 35k miles on it.
Itās been very cold here the last 5 days...
Question: Iāve got a ā22 R1T Quad with 34k miles on it now. Last year in the cold weather I am positive that if the battery temp were below 30 F in the morning the truck would heat the batteries back up in the first 10 mins of my commute by overheating the motors intentionally above 250 F and...
I had my ā22 R1T on OEM 21s at Cecil County Dragway MD a couple months back. Itās a Quad motor with 34k miles on it and it was about 55 deg F outside and at around 100ā above sea level. The truck was at 74% SOC when I arrived at the track. The frunk and gear tunnel were full of IT computer...
Iām by no means a drag racer! Mine is a ā22 R1T Quad Adventure with 31k miles on the original (worn!) 21ā tires. I was at 74% state of charge and was in Sport mode, with Stabilty off.
Not bad for a truck (and the frunk and gear tunnel were full with about 300 lbs of computer gear - Iām an IT...
Iām actively watching this thread, as my ā22 R1T (original 12v batteries in it still) has significant overnight losses (anywhere from 2kwhr to 5kwhr with no rhyme or reason. I have gear guard turned off at my house and proximity lock/unlock turned off at my place too). This situation is not...
I also have a 40 amp Grizzl-E dumb charger. This thing is overbuilt (and thatās an understatement). It looks like itās designed for an Arctic Outpost somewhere. Itās not flashy or filled with fancy options but I expect it to outlive me lol.
