What do you think you'll be ending up with as a final range when you're done?

On these batteries, looks like range to 100% depth of discharge in slow/hypermiling mode may be as much as 40 km. Halve that for "normal" driving, or a higher avg. speed.
Then halve it again if you want to be nice to the batteries, and make them last.
So... let's say 10-20 km, in warm weather, depending on the driver, to 50% DOD. It's all very wishy washy, eh?
The owner of the 1915 Milburn that I got a ride in told me his range was
80 km 
! That's with 36v (6 floodies), a contactor controller (100% efficient once at cruising speed) and a direct motor connection to the diff (fewer driveline losses). His top speed is around 20 mph (35 km/h) though.
