Temperature was -10C or colder for the vast majority of the month. I did not drive much as my car was at the dealer because of stuck manual charging ports. (One was replaced, and now the left side is causing problems again. I have an appt Monday March 9 to get it checked).

reporting range and active driving with regenerative braking vs cruise control
Sunday 8/March
temp outside 38F when I left in misty weather with fog to drive home.
charged at home charger (outside my home garage) @9KwH speed to 100% = 311miles SoC
1hr before departing I preheated car to 72F plus driver seat heat with departure Batt reading 99% and 296 Miles range even though I had left car plugged into my charger.
left in eve ~7:15pm; battery temp read 40F
drove with no cruise control through country roads & towns speeds 30-45mph 40miles then 75miles 68-75mph = 115 miles.
Batt SOC 65% at arrival with 196 mi range remaining when parked.
Regeneration braking and no CC added back miles: 296 depart - 196 arrival = 100 miles consumption for 115 miles actually driven at night with heat @72F, seat heat, lights on, stereo blasting and mobile phone charging during transit.
car parked indoor apartment building garage post arrival w/indoor temp 60F for 1.5 hrs now reads range 204 miles up from 196 at arrival.
I love regenerative braking and using the accelerator to speed up overtaking traffic when appropriate vs CC.
