The good news is that nothing really sneaks up on you since battery depletion is predictable. Plus, you can slow way down and the range increases dramatically so you could limp home. I have a Prius V, and it doesn't really matter how I drive the car, I get very close to 43 mpg. With the Zero, I can get from 40 miles to well over 100 miles on a full charge depending on how fast I ride. I can get 10 miles per bar if I slow to under 30 mph, or I can go 80 mph and get 4 miles per bar.

same thing happend to me, though I wasn't doing it on purpose, I ran out (luckily) about 50 feet from my driveway... the highway is what killed me, I was going 70-80mph till it over heated and cut me down to around 55-50mph while it cooled down.

Your SR will go into "limp home" mode when you reach 7% charge.
....
After that things stop being fun really quick.

Looks like you've already done the hard work... thanks for the detailed info!
