If I may ask, what range are you getting with regular, day-to-day drive with your GT?This is my first EV. My last car was a Honda Clarity, a PHEV with a 47 mile battery. The 'real world' range on it was 40 when it was new. Three and a half years later, it was 33. I'm planning on keeping this car for a long time. I'm hoping that the Air battery doesn't degrade that quickly, but it obviously will degrade some. So I figured it was best to start with the highest number possible.
Given that I'll be installing level 2 charger at home (with monthly surplus of over 300kwh from the solar panels) + discount at my workplace for DC stations......
I feel comfortable with regular Tour trim's ~300 (expected real-world) range.
I try not to rely on fast-DC Charging Station as my understanding is those are one of the reasons that battery storage degrades faster than slow level 2 charging.
This will be my first EV, jumping from the ICE vehicles. Tesla never caught my eyes. Never had PHEV/Hybrid.
