Hills and Efficiency
I drove to pick up my dog from daycare and then back home. I drove marginally faster on the way home with better efficiency. I live in a hilly area, but took the same route there and back. I live on a ridge and I do go up a small incline on the way there, but it is slight and maybe 1/4 mile of distance. It’s a big difference in efficiency. Anyone else notice this if you live in an area with hills? It makes me hesitant to traverse the mountain passes in the spring.

Yes - no different than when I was driving an ICE powered vehicle to be honest.

We live at the top of a crazy STEEP 1 mile hill/road. Going down, I gain 1-2% and my range will easily go up by 10+ miles.
Going up/home....I use at least 3% battery and my range can drop as much as 30 miles!! EVs + uphill = no bueno |
