R1T’s Best Highway Speed for Max Range

[Freeboy71]

I'm gearing up for a long road trip in my R1T, where the speed limits are pushing up to 100 MPH, and I'm curious about the best cruising speed to maximize range efficiency. Should I keep it chill with lower speeds, or can I crank it up a bit without wrecking my range?

Also, factoring in charging times and how long the trip's gonna take, whats’ the ideal highway speed to go for?

55 even up to 65, when that trade-off threshold begins to be reached. I do tend to stay at about 60 mph on travels, especially since we almost always tow and 60 seems to be the ideal speed. When we need to stretch to build a farther DCFC, the bias for range is stronger and lower.

If you drive fast, stop more often. The key is to be sure you have at least 5% at every stop.

I’ve heard this applies to all EVs too. For best range in your R1T, stick around 65-75 mph. Going much faster, like 100 mph, will drain the battery quicker. Plan charging stops at 20-80% for faster fills. Keep it chill to save time and range! Enjoy your road trip and stay safe!
