Hi,
The difference in efficiency might be small (I'd have to see some actual numbers) -- but the difference in total energy used has to be proportional. So, if you have a battery with X storage, and your motor(s) uses Y energy, then the range is going to be X divided by Y.
160HP would put it right in the ballpark with the Mini Cooper S -- and I'm sure that it would accelerate a lot harder from zero MPH that the S. So, why get so greedy?
