I'd also increase the voltage if possible as well especially if its going to get on an interstate.
Well, I won't be doing any interstate driving, but I will be driving the majority of it at about 55-60mph. So if I'm reading this right, I should shoot for the voltage/ah/kwh of a leaf? Also, I'm hoping that since the neon is fairly aerodynamic and since I've gotten the weight down so drastically that should help with range?
