just a little range update here... last night I did 27 miles up to a meeting and back, Most of those miles were at 65 mph on the freeway. It was about 40 degrees F out, and I used the heater about 1/2 the time (1500w electric element). It re-charged for ~10 hours at 5.8a last night, about 60ah.
If I assume I don't want to go below 80% dod (depth of discharge, which would be 104ah of my 130ah pack) then I have a freeway range of about 46 miles. A bit more if I don't need the heater. I'll round it up to 50 miles and call it good. It should do even better in warmer weather.
As an aside, for a 15 year old car with over 130k on the chassis, this thing rides smooth! It's nice and quiet on the freeway at 65 in 4th gear, no vibes or anything.
