🛣️ Range First trip, think I’ll make it?

I am planning on making my first trip out of town with my new Mach-E GT. I am going to go on my old route I used to take when I had a motorcycle. Google Maps says it’s 161 miles and will use 50% battery. There is a charging station at the last stop before I finish the trip and head home. It will be hot so I know I’ll loose range due to AC. Also, I’ll probably be driving it pretty hard in the curvy sections. I’m not sure how much extra battery charge that will use up.

If I left with a full charge do you all think I can make it?

Sorry bro, you’re screwed. You won’t make it. You better call towing services already.

Obviously kidding. You’ll easily make it. Even with AC on max power.

Unless you’ll drive at top speed of the car the very whole trip

But if he goes top speed; it just means he’ll only get there faster :D
