Driving is traffic is an exercise in driving without brakes and trying to build up a buffer zone. If you can idle along at 10-15mph and use just the B (regen) on the shifter to slow down if you get going too fast -- and try to never have to stop moving. Can you keep it in electric-only mode by driving without heat or A/C?

What are your tire PSI? I'll bet you can do some aero mods to the wheels and wheel openings.
