I drove almost 103 miles on a charge:



This is with the stock Ecopia tires again, and I checked the calibration, and for whatever reason it is over by less than before - now I reduce the mileage by 1.7%. (See my fuel log for details.)

And this is a big drop in the consumption - down to just under 207Wh/mile or 162.8MPGe! Very nice indeed. Forest is a much better coaster than Number 7, with their respective tires. I am running the e-Golf's Continentals at 50PSI, and the Ecopias (and the Hakka R2 this winter) at 45PSI. The Leaf is likely higher aero drag than the e-Golf, so the difference in the tires seems to be the difference.
