Starting in Denver to Colorado Springs, one EV truck and One ICE depart to go as far as they can on 1 charge vs 1 tank while each pulling a 6000lb trailer. They will then turn around.
(these are the same guys that tested the RIVIAN with horrible results pulling a 6000lb trailer. I think the RIVIAN did worse in Mileage but they took that through the CO mountains on I-70)
Some video points if you don't watch it.
1. Ev Starts at 282mi with 100% bat pwr. (Ford Lightening advertises 320mi)
2. Once trailer weight is calculated, est. mi. drops to 160mi
3. EV truck goes 86 mi on one charge with 9% remaining (1% battery per mi). May have gone 100mi but there was no charger within that distance. 1/3 the distance of what the Ford Lightening advertises for unloaded distance.
4. ICE truck is a little less than 3/4 a tank at the same time.
5. During the EV recharging, the ICE truck returns to the beginning.
6. EV gets to 75% charge and the ICE truck is already back at the beginning.
7. ICE fills up its tank to $93.89 after the round trip of 155mi and still had an est. of 65mi before empty for a total of 220mi on one tank if needed.
8. EV recharge was $27.00 to 75%. What they don't show is that once returned the EV will have to charge again. If that was the same $27.00, that $54.00 for the round trip and still at 75% charge.
9. A $40.00 difference credit to the EV.
