270, wow. You could just ignore the estimate number, or go back to gas. My “tests” haha are more like 2,500 - 3,500 miles with almost ten of these under my belt and I’m a happy camper, and I don’t have to go slow but then I chose the brand with the good charging network, and I follow my formula and I own (and embrace) the extra burning of range because it’s my choice to drive hard.
Aerodynamic drag increases with the cube of speed, so if you are even a smidgen over 50 mph average, just own it.
where do people drive under 50mph in the USA? I live in a semi-rural area, with minimal interstates, and the back roads are 60mph . I'm not comfortable going -10mph on a 2-lane with no pull-outs
Absolutely getting to the bottom 20% when I'm doing it right ("right" == faster trip). That makes the charges faster at each stop. Also I find it more fun to stop every hour for 5-10 minutes than every 2 hours for 30-40 minutes. Of course at some stops with long stretches you have to stop for longer (looking at Kingman, AZ to Flagstaff, AZ until they add a charger at Seligman).
