Over 3,000 miles and no gas! (It's electric)

Well I've driven over 3,000 miles now, and no problems. I drive almost daily, and have gotten used to charging only after I arrive home with over 50 miles on the odometer. My BMS system makes it a snap to charge. Just plug it in and it does all the rest. I've measured the range at over 100 miles, so I'm very comfortable with pushing it past 60 miles on a charge. The summer heat makes the car more efficient. Even with the top down, I use about 200 - 210 wh/m. I drive top down most of the time. It is quieter because you don't hear any gear noise. I have solar panels on my house, and it will be interesting to see if I can conserve enough electricity from my home use to drive free for the year. It will be close.
If your interested about the details I have a fair amount of information on my site listed below.
