I'm back!
Well, we drove the car from my parents' house to Sears, and then to mother in laws, for a total of about 8 miles. No problems. It was sort of scary going into traffic, and feeling pressured to accelerate a little more than I would want to. Also, I'm finally figuring out how to down-shift. I only used 1st and 2nd gear the whole time. If I was coasting, I would rev the motor and push toward 1st gear, and it would fall right in. No problem after I got a little practice. It's charging right now outside of my mother-in-laws house, at a rate of around 504 watts (Note: 504 = 7*12*6), since there are 7 twelve volt 6 amp chargers.
There is a big difference between flat roads and hills with respect to power usage! Geeze!
