Owners insight would be appreciated.

I have not gone 80 in our Par Car but have gone approx. 42 miles.

Soon after purchase I went from Amelia, to Spanish Springs, then to Brownwood, then back to Amelia. Batteries appeared to 50 % discharged upon return.

I have not officially checked the mileage but that is my guess. The Car slows down a little going up the hill but the controller recognizes the incline and adds a boost to the speed.

We are happy with our Par Car. Have put approx. 1200 miles our 1st year.

Good Luck in your search.
