I have a great hybrid that I drive and get 55 MPG in the spring, summer and early fall. BUT, I drive 70 miles a day on flat roads and mostly interstate. In the winter p, which aren’t anywhere neat yours, I drop to 49 to 50. When I drive they the mountains in Va/WV that drops to 43 in the winter.
Driving a straight EV with what is available today, in those conditions, you would have to stop every 100 miles to charge up.
I "resto-modded" a 78 280Z with a 415 HP FORD 347.
415 HP at 2700 pounds all up weight...
After re-engineering the entire car I only had enough room left for a 10 gallon gas tank..so it's cruisin' range is about the same as the straight EV.....
