If you've actually driven an EV, you realize mileage is a crock of shit so getting 700 miles actually means you can not worry.

* You can't use the bottom 10% without going against recommendations

* You shouldn't charge above 85-90% to avoid going against recommendations

* If you drive over 65 mph, the drain is above average.

* If you tow a trailer, your range is halved.

* If you install a little storage roof rack, you lose 20-30% of range

* You experience 10% battery degradation in the first couple years of ownership.

* 20% loss to cold weather (Thanks to a comment for this one)

I really don't want a reply to this comment to be "Well...gas engines..."
