That's very different from my experience. Downhill is OK - I have MIMA, so regen takes care of most - but going around curves there's a distinct drop in handling with more than me. And uphill requires dropping into 2nd for anything more than about 5% grade.

But at least for me, it's not warming
me that's the problem, since I always dress so as to be comfortable outside the car. It's keeping frost & condensation off the windows so I can see where I'm going.
