Written 4/29/23 — Updated 2/21/2024
Purpose
Reporting on Trip and Fuel Statistics for driving a battery electric vehicle (BEV). Specifically the 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E4
Location
Northern VA
What
Data obtained from In-car Dash, FordPass App, Charging Stations, and Home Charger
Duration
As long as I own the vehicle. Start Date: January 21, 2023
Notes
This is primarily City driving with moderate traffic
ADJ: “Adjusted” — Adjusted for a particular trip’s battery capacity which is governed by factors such as temperature. Every EV has an ideal battery capacity. This can be exceeded or undercut, which therefore affects the rest of metrics like MPGe and energy efficiency.
Average Trip Speed: Not average speed driven during trip, but speed when taking into account miles driven and time duration of trip
MPGe: Based off the EPA conversion: 33.705kWh electricity = 1 gallon gasoline
Average Temperature: As reported by Weather Underground Historical Data for Dulles Airport
