Rode to MSEF meeting in South Haven on Highway all the way from Holland to South Haven (20+ miles at 60+ mph)! I drafted on a little pickup much of the way that had 2 kayaks on the roof that was going from 60-65mph.

Used one battery from 112-100V, Second battery was 112-104V. So I can make trip to South Haven at regular speeds!

Average speed for the trip was 47.2, I think my highest average speed ever for a trip this long.

Recharged at park in South Haven and mapped that park in Plug Share."
