I agree. Just put us on the top, and everyone else below!

Actually, my EV motorcycle has NEVER shown up on that list, even though it's about 100 watt-hrs per mile.

I am planning on some sort of DC/DC converter in the future. I have a match to the one on my motorcycle, which is tiny. It's only a 100 watt converter, but maybe I could rig in in parallel to the battery? Or in some other way split power between the DC/DC and the battery?
