Realistically, how far do you get on a single charge in winter with lights and heater on and driving against the wind on a hilly interstate?

That’s my daily commute so I’m not just making up the scenario.

At worst that would be 60 miles.
I typically get 80-90, and have hit 114.

Yes, it has limits. 85 mile per charge typical range, recharge time 4 hours @ 220v or 21 hours @ 110v, issues at extreme temperatures.
But within those limits, it works great: 140 MPGe, aka $0.50/gal gas equivalent, aka $30/month energy cost; peppy acceleration; quiet; great for commuting within 50 mile round trip.
It’s not a truck. It’s not a sports car. It’s a great replacement for my late Camry. It’s perfect for the Atlanta region.
