Finally got a chance to do some real highway range testing. Pulling my 5700 lb travel trailer, it rode very level and got 0.9 miles/kWh @ 65 MPH. With warmer daytime temps and more air in the tires, it should achieve 1.0
Important results:
153 mile 100 to 0%
100-120 mile ideal for charging speed

Just read this for the UK
"The oil company Shell owns the biggest UK network, followed by the government-backed Connected Kerb and the EDF-owned Pod Point"
Surely that can't be right ?
- The worst company
- The slowest charge
- The least reliable
The biggest the #EV #chargers ?

280km drive back from Paris with the GoM dating we should get back with 25km. But the temp took a dive to -7° in the last 80km !!
Reached zero km 4km out from home !!
So this is probably more like -1% ? Model S still going fine.
