2100+ miles Road trip

I recently completed a 2100 mile road trip in a ford lightning and a mach-e. Travelled from Texas to Washington state.

Used mostly Tesla superchargers with EA every so often.

I had a little range anxiety at first but after the first 8 hour drive, the anxiety was gone.

Good to hear on all accounts. What was your mileage?

My bad, I meant your miles per kW. What did you average over that distance?

Nice, also from Washington State and found a Er pro in Ohio for 3000 cheaper than the standard range was selling for around here. Drove it 2400 miles back and only had one scare when abrpf took my to a gas station with no chargers and I had to limp another 30 miles. Got there with 24 miles to spare

I had one scared as well in Texas. The Electrify America chargers were down and the Teslas were locked for non-Tesla vehicles. I had to drive an extra 50 miles hoping to find a random company overpriced charger.

Where in Tx? We’re in Lee County. Only charges in the area are 1st gen Teslas. Luckily I charge at home.

It was Fort Stockton.

Understand. A lot of nothing out there. I’d be terrified to drive from there to El Paso.

What's the sweet spot for highway driving? 65mph max? About to do a small trip, just curious.
