2024-05-24 e-Stang range test
Since last test in April I replaced the broken regen enable switch and increased the max regen current from 30 amps to 50 amps. Not as good as our Bolt but one pedal driving is now more effective.
Got 30.3 miles until yellow light stuck on, 7.8 miles further than a month ago! Only 73 degree high today vs. 77 last month, but regen seemed to keep the batteries a little warmer, especially downhill. Regen alone probably doesn't explain the 35% improvement; I did more country road driving, 45 MPH with no stopping for several miles but hillier. Maybe the 16 year old batteries are intermittent?

Only 22.5 miles until red light came on! Regen switch still broken which should add a couple of miles back, but it's accelerating towards uselessness. See "e-Stang range test 2024-04-23.xlsx" for details.

e-Stang battery capacity test
8/11-16/2023
25.7 miles driven; yellow light going on regularly but not stuck on so maybe another 1-2 miles before 2.3V cutoff; WAS REGEN SWITCH BROKEN YET?
61.4 Ah capacity
61% proportion of nameplate
59% proportion of new
14.6 years driven on this 2nd Valence pack (replaced under warranty after 2.4 years)
17.8 years estimated life to 50% of nameplate if linear decay
3.2 years left before 50% of nameplate
Nov '26 estimated replacement date at 50% nameplate
63.3 Ah discharged
1.8 Ah charged via regen
3% capacity extended by regen (but clutch switch is currently broken so limited to 12 amps instead of 50 reprogrammed up from 30 which showed 7% increase in range earlier - need to redo this, may be as high as 12% or 28 mile range)
8758 Wh net capacity
57% proportion of nameplate (worse than Ah due to increase in internal resistance)
9040 Wh discharged
2.84 miles per kWh, similar to Mach-e but far less peppy and less cargo
