Where I live is about 2100-2200 above sea level. Greenville, SC about 50 miles away is about 1000 feet so it is a 1100-1200 climb driving say 55 miles.
Can this be done if the battery is fully charged?
Given that the opposite way is mostly downhill, would the car likely be charged fully when I got down there so I could drive back up without recharging?
What about in summer (A/C) and in winter (heating)?
I get up to 50MPG in my Camry Hybrid going downhill and often have to use the brakes and/or engine braking to avoid going more than 10 mph over the 55mph speed limit and getting a ticket.
