    Here in Marin County there are a lot of short ups and down on the north-south freeway through the county. Most are a couple hundred foot gain and loss. The grade leading south to the Golden Gate Bridge is about a 500 foot gain and 350 foot loss.

    The ascents should be done on ICE. I wonder whether the descents will regen any significant amount back into the battery pack, and if so, how much more EV range they might provide for local driving.

    And its those kind of questions that will be so interesting to see the answers to once these cars are actually in the hands of customers.
