    How have the larger wheels effected your EV range? I'm guessing its slightly less.. but I'm wondering how big of a difference it is in EV vs. HV

    They look like the Scion FRS wheels, if I'm not mistaken

    Yes, this is the Scion FRS wheels. I have larger wheels on pretty much right after I got the car, so I really don't know how much they affect the MPG. I am more for the California HOV sticker than anything else.
