There's no way you can get 60 miles from a 160 battery at 20 mph ... you're definitely not going to get that, at 27 mph.

Figure 30-40 miles at TV Speeds (which is always pedal to the metal).

& yeah, there are people on here who insist they get 60-70 miles on a 150/160. I've called them on it and no one's willing to do a real test. I have a 210. At TV Speeds, I get about 50 miles of range. I could probably nurse it to 60, but I'd really have to be careful. (I also had a "loaner" one week, with a 105. I got about 24 miles and ran it dead.)
I have a 205ah battery on my 2024 evolution D5 4 forward facing and I have had several discharges at 70 miles with 10-12% battery remaining. All of these runs have been with it in high range, in low range (set at 20mph) I think it'd go a little further. If you'd like to call me on that and do a test I'd be happy to.
