If you are going 100 miles you are likely using more than 15kwhr of juice
Duh!

Wasnt comparing ranger to electric ghia, was comparing battery packs based on incomplete picture of back seat using swag engineering back estimating what the pack was.
15 kwh is 50% more than 10kwh so 75 miles in a volt is an acceptable napkin equation which I indicated

Ranger also goes 40 miles in the flats using a 2011 volt pack. Cd is brick shaped which affects freeway range significantly.
