I drove a leaf for 3 years and it had 80 to start with and ended around 67. At the end, it was a pain, but didn’t notice until around 70mi range. Somehow, 75 would get me from home, to the airport, to work, and back home again with room to breathe. At 67, it was nail biting.

For me that would be pushing it. That is about as far as I drive to my dentist. A little traffic, or battery degradation. That said any charging station a long the way would fix that.

Assuming this company is not filled with dumbasses thinking air cooling the battery is a good idea like in the Leaf, the range will likely hold up much better.
