Average has been 312 wh/mile, driving pretty conservatively (medium duty hyperwatting).

As for battery config, You can always start with 6 and add the buddy pairs later. It won't really change what your battery layout is up front (you'll only have room for 3 or 4), and you can always consolodate in the rear if you need to.
