This morning I went for a little drive (100 miles or so, see trip meter). When I left it was -3F out, when I arrived home it was 20F out. Range when I left was showing 180 miles with 100% charged. Reset the Trip 1 meter sitting in the garage before pulling out after preconditioning it for a good...

Steady state (I'm guessing after it determines that the 12V battery is full): 13.5V (float charge to keep the 12V battery full)...
So yeah: Its here ;)
I can't stress enough how cool this looks:
I picked it up around 5pm so really haven't had much time with it at all.

Yeah I live in Ford country.
I had mentioned before that just about everything I have has a battery (Lawnmower, Snowthrower, edger, and e-bike). So this morning I figured I would try something I've only tried another time last winter (and failed miserably with a face plant): Take the e-bike out...
