    @Jason,

    yes its a bit slower acellarating than 64 and obviously lower miles per full charge but if 95% of driving is local and you can charge, even on a granny charge then you’ll be ok. for your long trips you just might have to plan carefully for stops, or as other do, hire a bigger car for the occasional long trip. You’ll save a bit on ap i would think so use that for a hire.

    mileage wise it should be same ratios. I just did a about 14 mile trip and got equ of 357miles to full battery if i had been driving same type of rds all day; so well over their 290 claimed. using the regen right and keeping speed down is the trick to it. As said if using the air con it will drop a fair bit and a fair bit more in cold weather too, so in winter you can get a double whammy.
