    I'm surprised that the return trip doesn't ruin the number. How long is the trip?

    Depending upon short stops I make, just run in and out leave car run 17.5-18.5 mile trips. Yeah! the two up hills do hurt, I sure wish it was flat!

    The times I find my range the highest are after trips where I go well beyond the EV range (50 mile+ trips). This allows you to truly find the best times to use the EV and even glide down hills at 60 mph. I assume if someone had a trip like this daily they could get their range up to 25 miles or more. On a recent 130 mile trip a had over 32 miles of EV on one charge.

    Yes but that's different than the EV starting range. On 214 mi mountain trip my EV was 43% or 92 miles.

    Yes, but it can in turn boost your EV starting range. I understand it doesn't mean that much...but at the same time it does because using the EV wisely is the whole point of this car.
