Sounds like he was only going 24mph. I think the range record should also include a time component, give the total distance and also the total driving time to attain that distance.
It seems that GOM estimation at the begining was not so bad...

IIRC LRR tyres are somewhere in the range of 7 - 8 Kg/1000Kg friction, so the lowest a 1560 Kg LEAF would require would be 7*1.56*9.8 = 108 N, so about 30 Wh a Kilometer. One might also guess that this record was performed on highly inflated, well worn tyres so I'm confident in using the low LRR number.Piro said:VitaminJ said:Looks like the highest so far was 188 miles:

Hard to believe. No video. 300 km? Sorry, but physics says ...
Also he did this in AZ where higher temperatures mean more battery capacity and less grease friction. IIRC, he also wore a cooled ice vest to keep cool and drove overnight with no AC. Plus he's a hardcore hypermiler. Good luck trying to beat 188 mi.VitaminJ said:Looks like the highest so far was 188 miles:
