Mostly what I expected. The ratings are best performance to wring every ounce of distance from the batteries at optimal conditions.

There are some freepers who really badmouth electrics and will never drive one. Then there are freepers who are gung-ho on electrics and want everyone to get one. My take on it, is that a lot of specs, say range from batteries, is literally eked out under very optimum conditions that the average Joe can't duplicate. It really burns me up to be behind a slowpoke in an electric or hybrid tenderly moving along to get optimum distance from the batteries. When I drive my daughter's hybrid, I punch it, range be damned. That's how you test best performance, and it shows you whether it is useful. All-electrics won't be replacing fuel powered cars anytime soon.
