Just got in: 18 km on this charge, and didn't even have to crawl up that last little grade in 1st gear, feathering the go pedal to keep from murdering the floodies.

Got to love the warm temps!

I have a feeling the car is going to pull off some decent efficiency numbers this spring/summer. I figure tomorrow morning's calc's should show that today's usage was well above the average.
