Just under 20 summer miles with your pack is pretty nice. 6.8 KWh of power, plus Mr. Puekert and 20 miles sounds right on.
Yeah, this cold really bites! Are you using voltage to measure your Depth of Charge? I have been told that using voltage DoD is only accurate at least an hour after your have driven/charged the EV.
Now I must get back to building my insulated battery box and fight this cold!
