    Problem is, many of 'em look like you should be wearing big shoes & a red nose:

    And ... in the event you actually need to get up to speed now and then, you've already blown your wad o cash for the NEV... so then that's all you got.

    This shows that there is a big difference between estimated, ( which is only a computer generated guess) and actual range. Range has everything to do with load, whether its a heavy foot, uphill, numerous red lights, temperature, powered accessories, tire pressure, altitude, etc....My estimated is 12.1, for the past several charges, however, under ideal conditions I have gotten over 22 miles.

    Wow, how do you get over 22? Is that round trip? What is the route like?
