It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Tltr: Avoid extremes.

E.g., bad scenarios: charging to the fullest/depleting to 0; usage/storage/charging in hot or sub-0 environments; going full throttle (vs eco mode); too high/too low tire pressure.

You're welcome.

All good info.

I'm surprised speed isn't mentioned, for example going 20mph instead of 15mph requires double the power and uses more energy despite the shorter trip time.

20 mile trip at 15mph = 200Wh

20 mile trip at 20mph = 300Wh
