I'm not sure of your terms here. Per that graph it seems to indicate you can go 220 miles at 60mph. 60mph is hardly "very low speeds".

at "low speeds", i.e. 25mph, you can go about 400 miles!!

you have to be going 105mph to get down to a 100 mile range.

Just based on that picture of course.

What I meant by "very low speeds" was for max range. And that anything over 100 miles on a charge would be impressive for me...not at that cost for the car...but still impressive. Sorry...I should have been more clear in my post...I wasn't looking to drive 105 mph for 100 miles!

I wonder if that's testament that driving slowly - hypermiling - will save energy no matter the form of fuel
