I've been doing some driving with the Force and so far it can do an easy 10+ miles. It's definitely much slower than my Civic EV, but it still drives around just fine. It does struggle on the hills around here, dropping from 35 MPH to ~32 MPH, but not too bad.
I am looking into upgrading the AMC320 to the UMOC440, I just need to locate the ignition +12v wire in the Force. That will allow me to upgrade from 28 KW peak controller to 37 KW peak, which should help with the hills. A few years ago I calculated that 32 KW is needed to handle some of these nasty hills at the speed limit.
