Hypermiling in my 33.5kwh Focus EV! EPA-rated for 115 miles of range, but I’m consistently getting 150+ during summer. (256km ≈ 159 miles)

Mostly small countryside roads with ~40mph speed limits and city.

I don’t have a picture but my personal best was 178 miles.

For most of my driving (short distances) I avoid highways, since going above 50mph has a huge effect on the autonomy.

For longer trips, I set the cruise control to 55mph and get about 110 to 120 miles of range.

I have low rolling resistance tires, they are very stiff and not that comfortable compared to the alternatives I tried but the results speak for themselves.

Winter is rough in this car, it wipes half of the range.

I don’t drive very much and only had to use public charging stations 3 times in my two years of ownership. I don’t need to hypermile to get to my destinations (heck, I don’t even pay for electricity) but I like seeing big numbers on the dashboard.
