First, and I'm surprised this topic hasn't been brought up in this thread too, but too bad he didn't have an 'A' pack. The 'A' pack could have saved him because there would have been no way he would have thought he had enough charge to make it! :tongue:
Physicsfita...I'm doing 150 miles round trip right now. We're driving highway speeds and only charging to 90% in an 85kw battery, and we still get home just fine with plenty of range to spare. We have even range charged and driven an extra 70 miles to run some errands and still got home with 20 miles to spare. As long as you plugged in at night and minimally thought about what the next day entails, you would be fine for all of that driving. Further, the amount of thought is less than the required thought to remember to go full up. Leaving home with a full tank every day is something that changes everything.
