    I am wondering what is about the maximum EV mileage that one can get on a round trip with PIP. A round trip eliminates any ups and downs in the driving terrain.

    These days I can get 17.7 miles round trip to my work and still have between 0.5-1 mile left in the EV range. This is with no A/C and windows typically rolled up. Of course, the weather these days in DC area is quite favorable these days ( Mid 80's during day time)

    Anybody want to chime in?

    I had one trip of 18.8 miles with .1 left, no air, windows down about 2", 80 degrees, one small hill up and down each way about 200 feet tall. other wise pretty flate for Wisconsin. Other wise I get on average about 16.5 give or take a little.
