Yeah, I know, I was just saying that we haven't seen a big drop, functionally, with our Volvo. I mean I guess 20 miles is just under 10% over the overall stated range, but the vehicle is 100% used for jaunts around Chicagoland, so we're never in any trouble.

Also, regarding winter, one nice benefit of it being EV is that it's a lot heavier so it does pretty reasonably in snow (combined with all the electronic aids for slippery weather). The low profile tires it needs have been slow to come in winter versions, but it does about as well in snow as our Chrysler minivan (FWD) does with its Bridgestone Blizzaks.

Neither do as well as my tiny Honda Fit with a manual transmission & Michelin X-Ice winter tires, which continues to be hilarious.
