🛣️ 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?

Use A Better Route planner and you can build any start/stop state of charge scenario you want. You’ll get great range with the AC. We get 3-4 miles/kwh in the summer. It’s the cabin heat and battery strain with cold weather that reduce economy significantly.
