He says he traveled 973 miles in 16.5 hours. (He stopped at his hotel instead of finishing the 1,000 miles.) That was divided into 14 hours 6 minutes of actual driving and 2 hours 24 minutes of charging. He kept the battery between 20% and 80% charged. He made six stops to charge, averaging 24 minutes each.

He says the actual practical range of the car for non-urban driving is about 250 miles, not 310 as claimed.
