Believe me sir range of an electric vehicle is all too familiar to me.

Ever hypermile a cherry picker? I have so I wouldn't have to change the battery on my shift. I P&G even before I knew that P&G was... I would use the brake instead of plugging (a term meaning to use reverse to slow down the vehicle). I would move while raised, I turned off the on board fan and only used a brief honk of the horn to conserve as much power as possible. They didn't go that fast so I didn't bother with aero mods

I thought I would put my two cents in since I am probably one of only a few that actually has experience CHANGING an EV battery on a regular basis.
