Here is the thing. You can check it yourself on ABRP.
1. Bolt EV 2019 66 kWh upgrade (which I have)
2. Mustang Mach-E 2021 AWD
Trip to Toronto from Montreal = 545 km
Times :
- Bolt EV : 6h29 with 45 mins charge
- Mustang Mach-E : 6h08 with 25 mins charge
So, yes, the Bolt EV stayed more to the charger, but the difference of 20 mins isn’t worth 20k $ price difference. And ABRP is 10% off in what concerns the Bolt EV because they don’t have many Ampera-E in Europe. They consider the efficiency of the Bolt EV as 184 Wh/km at 110 km/h while my experience shows it is 168 Wh/km.
IF I input 168 Wh/km efficiency at 110 km/h in ABRP and leave the rest as is, guess what ? The time becomes
6h18 with a stop of
34 mins. <— This is a better approximation and it matches my experience.
So
10 mins between the two cars,
for 20k $ more.
It’s not worth it for me and the infrastructure we have here to even consider any of the new EV.
