  2. Trundling along at a steady 50 with no air conditioning or radio, praying you make it to the next charger. Lovely.

  8.  @Luka_3D  air conditioning does not consume a 'miniscule' amount of electricity. it's a considerable amount and you need to learn some physics. EV owner, are we?

  10.  @Luka_3D  The hotter it gets, the more the AC will decrease range. At 80 degrees, it’s 2.8% of the total drain. At 90 degrees, it's 5%, and at 100 degrees (an increasingly common summer temperature), the drain is 31%.
