would it survive? I work at jimmy johns and deliver sandwiches. lunch rush is like 11-1, so i would be driving fairly constantly for that period with short brakes in between, up to an hour sometimes if its slow. a delivery is at most 4 miles total. lets say i do that 4 times a week, most of the other time its being driven later and a lot less frequently. I would never exceed 60 miles in a day, i've tested it in my gas car, i probably average 45-50 on the busy days and less than 20 on the slow ones. I don't drive aggressively and i would attempt to maximize efficiency. I wouldn't take highways, or exceed 55mph. I can park it in my garage and charge it late at night with garage cracked and fans circulating air.
Im mainly worried about summer heat and the car degrading rapidly even with a lizard battery, or it going into turtle mode when im driving a lot. I'll make sure i pick a light colored car, and i'll get it tinted, also get a sunshade for it while parked. I just need this battery to hold more than 60 miles for 2 more years, 3 or 4 would be great. After that i can replace the pack myself or buy a new one, IDK.
should i just get a ford focus electric? i really don't like them, but ik they're cooled much better. Would a leaf last ?
