Spot on....but you can bring the pack to 80% discharge if needed or 47 volts if I read that correctly, not sure how many more miles that would be.

The other fact you bring up is the recovery resting, too many say they go so miles on elec, but it's taken out context often, everyone does stop & go with rests in-between so the milage is higher.

But a safe bet is probably 50 miles do you agree?
