    Standard means an agreed up measure, so it does matter. In other words, temperature extremes... like Minnesota... are intentional exclusions... hence the fine print for those estimates provided. Another example is speed limit... like South Dakota... where 80 mph driving would be grossly misleading.

    Again... That "6" was stirred in discussion because it was the mile-mark in the EPA test where there was a hard acceleration to highway speed, triggering the engine to run briefly.

    kWh available for electric-only driving = 11 miles
