Breaking the glass ceiling! RAVolt goes >30 miles

The RAVolt’s theoretical range is supposed to be 30 miles and, until today, I had never gone more than 25 miles.  Today I drove 30.3 miles and still had plenty of charge left (138 of 144 volts).  A lot of the driving was even at high speed on 360.  It was funny to redrive my first hill on 360 after logging nearly 1000 miles.  I’m not the timid EV driver anymore.

The pack was definitely sagging hard, but there was still enough to get around for a few more miles of city driving.

Another news item: Laura’s EV curse seems to be lifted.  She drove in the RAVolt to the store.
