What is the best speed to make it home when have limited battery left? 55? 50?

Hypermilers drive slowly to beat EPA numbers.

Since you gave 2 choices, I would pick 50mph.

I usually don't leave until my battery gauge has at least 100 or 150 extra miles.

I recently forego the charging stations due to long wait and need to reach home 210 miles away but I didn't have 310 miles on the battery gauge.

I had 274 on the gauge so I drove at 55mph. I kept checking the gauge and the home distance making sure I have 50 miles extra.

With that speed, it did the trick and I had extra 70 miles on the gauge when I was about 30 miles from home (100 on the gauge - 30 = 70 extra.

That's when I increased my speed to 70mph to spend the extra miles down.

I got home with 47 miles on the gauge and plugged in at home.

What’s your current efficiency and SoC ? You can multiply these two to get a sense of actual range you have. (It also depends on external factors such as headwind, temp, and elevation)

If you are on highway then get behind the truck. This should help in cd and driving at 50-55 mph should help you as well. Offcourse, turn off Heat-AC.

28mph is the max efficiency if you can turn off climate control. At least that is what Lucid told some You Tubers that did over 700 miles in a GT. Hence, 50 is better than 55.

Low and slow, like any good brisket

But sometimes you just want to char the crap out of a good piece of beef, so you smack it as hard as you can and have yourself a smashed burger

Both are tasty, but the smashed burger leaves you less full, causing you to need to recharge sooner

The patience of the brisket keeps you going all day

It takes about 135,000 slaps to cook a chicken using a meat beater

does anyone disagree that 28mph will get you the best mileage? I was thinking 40-45 ...
