So I made myself a challenge to go a full month without using any gasoline to get around and today I made it. I'm pretty stoked. I found 11 new places I could charge, and I got my per mile watt consumption down from an average of 310 Watts per mile at the beginning of the month to 261 at the end. I did that by moderating my gas pedal movements so keep them in thickest part of the eco band on the power meter of the Niro and by picking less traveled, slower routes. My new route to work is 13.68 miles instead of 17.61 and it's much slower at an average speed of 26 mph instead of 51.
