Re: [EVDL] article: Subaru doubles the battery range on itselectric car concept
Michael,
I am with you, right now I am traveling 200 km a day, and 62 mph is
exactly 100 km/h, which is the local regulated speed in these parts,
unfortunately I would feel safer with a 300 km range for that kind of
commuting (and no plug on the other side), also 110 km/h would be a
little safer (by allowing me to mingle a little less with the heavy
transports).
But basically this is getting better, and with a little more progress
with be usable.

Re: [EVDL] article: Subaru doubles the battery range on itselectric car concept
I couldn't find any reference to that number while searching for
articles on this vehicle. Since it has a 65kW drive train it should be
capable of more unless it governed to 62 mph (100km/h), which seems
silly.

Sixty-two mph is 100km/h, isn't it?

Yes, 62mph is also the governed speed on my France built EV.
It's also pretty much power limited to that speed anyway but down a
steep hill you notice it regenerating hard to prevent over-revving the
motor!
