It glides pretty well, heavy and tires pumped up, but it doesn't pick up speed on its own in neutral going downhill like an econobox, I think the 8:1 gearing and motor inertia (and magnets) keep gravity from accelerating it like I'm used to. It is fun to P&G it though

I pay $0.14 / kWh for electricity so that would be $0.042/ mile
Isn't PnG worse for energy efficiency with an electric vehicle? High load creates more waste heat in an electric motor than low loads especially at take off.
