That is interesting with a block heater you might of beat it.

I've noticed with my bike that the efficiency goes way down on short trips. If I go 5 miles and recharge it's a lot worse then if I go 30 miles and recharge.

Was the EV on the same route or your just comparing you run in the flea to your around town avg. on the Forkenswift? I see it was the same route. Never mind
