Last weekend was National Plug In day. The event was being held 16 miles from my work.
It started at 10, and, I start work at 22. I took my XU there on Saturday, just to see how long
it would take me to get to work from there, so that I would have maximum time before I had to
leave. I left at 10, and, with a fairly sedate ride, was able to make it in 35 minutes. 6 miles
to freeway, 9 miles on freeway at 55 mph, then, a little over a mile to where I park.
On Sunday, I arrived early enough to top of the XU so that I would have a full charge
when leaving. With setup, talking with other EV owners, and, looking around, I lost track
of time. I looked at my phone, and, it was 10:20. I grabbed everything, and took off.
45~50 mph on the street going to the freeway, 65~70 on the freeway. MOST of the
freeway is level to down hill from where I got on. The last part has about a 1 mile
fairly uphill section. My last two bars had just started flashing a mile or so from my
exit. Made it in 20 minutes.Just about 1,000 miles on the bike now, and, this was
BY FAR my worst range. Normally, I hit the two flashing bars between 35~43 miles.
