Add in modern LRR tires with a Crr ~0.007, and a more efficient switched reluctance motor, and the theoretical efficiency would approach 110 Wh/mi from 145 Wh/mi and a range approaching 900 miles, at the same speed.

In turn, you could cut the battery size in half and get close to a 500 mile range, and reduce weight/energy consumption/costs further.
