when driving my electric car I pay attention to the battery gauge just like I pay attention to my gas gauge in my gas car and I'll admit that I do know people who have run out of gas, mostly because when your gas tank is empty it's really empty! batteries don't have an exact bottom so you can crawl home, but the battery meters can give you an extremely accurate reading of how much energy you have left.

ive never ran out of gas before but ill expound
there will be a lot of trial and errors with a first electric car
and naturally you will be watching the gauges like a hawk
but there are factors when it comes to EV range
(speed and elevation are the 2 im referring to)
it basically boil down to a moped experience i had
(the guy took the speed limiter off and it could go 60+)
i floored it up the hill and could barely hit 30
(and thus holding up traffic)
my hill is like this, but a mile or so
1 lane up, 1 lane down
with driveways on both sides, so you might have to stop
some people drive 25, some drive 40
