    Always drive as slow as you can without sacrificing safety or pissing too many people off. Take off slow from stops (I go about halfway on the HSI if someone is behind me, only about 1/4 of the way if no one is behind me). Run the AC as little as possible or not at all. Time lights. Try to never brake and if you absolutely half to, make sure you aren't wasting any on friction braking.

    Another trick to get more miles out of a charge. Charge it up just before you need to drive it away.

    Well that is obvious....

    as I stated, this was based on my estimate.
