One of the benefits of a big battery -- lots of buffer if you don't replace 100% of the previous trip kilometers before your next trip.

They've had a mostly trouble-free ownership experience: biggest issue was the rear wiper motor quit. Zero drivetrain problems.
Wow, I estimate that's an average of 14 kWh per day. Do you know if they are using the stock EVSE? I think it has a max output of 12A, so that/s 1.4 kW, or 10 hours of charging per day.

Might even be more like 16 kWh per day considering Canada's colder climate and lower efficiency.
