Tsk Tsk tsk.... BAD... Oh forget it.....

I have never been there. but I suspect your e-meter's declared battery
capacity is off.

I have found that if it is even close that 0 remaining is long after
your EV has stopped moving.

With Optimas is should be set to about 65 amphours.

I can't get more than about %50 DOD before I crawl to a stop. Now that
it is warm and I can charge at Ummm 42 amps...I can get them warm!!

My range should get back to warm weather levels.
