    To the OP, what was the EV estimated range at the start of the trip? On errands around town, usually with one or two stops/power down, I get 14+ miles. Usually that's back to my garage, but not always. On two occasions I have gotten over 16 and even had over 1 mile remainin in the estimated range. But that was out on country roads with speeds of 45-50+, and not returning to my garage. Hard to quantify, I guess, but I'm happy to be exceeding the 6 mile EV range Ford says I can get with my PiP in their CMax Energi commercials. :p

    that must have been very selected road/traffic flow with very cautious driving.
    good to see a high record.

    bisco, with a nod to a famous movie line, "are you talkin' to ME?" :) or the OP? Somebody averaged the OP's speed at 19+ mph, and mine, as I said above, was mostly at 45-50.
