Hugely useful post, thank you IamIan.

I also need to factor in weather / temperature. If I'm going to be using an EV when it's 20-30 degrees below zero, I'm definitely going to be using a heater, and range will already be reduced by virtue of lower temperatures.

Is there any reason I shouldn't have the battery modules split, to help distribute weight? A double 24kwh Leaf pack could provide what I need, but I don't think I'd want all of that weight in the back.
