Canberra driving experience

I took my new Electron out for proper spin today – to give it a full run through its paces… …I think the drive represented a pretty normal Canberra driving situation (except it was raining!)
I covered a total of 86km, with 1, 2 and 3 passengers on board…
The route:
Few highway stints @100km(inter city driving), but mostly 50-60km /hr driving…
Suburb loop A x 2 laps – in weston creek (moderately hilly)
City loop x 3 laps of the parliamentary triangle
Suburb loop B x 3 or 4 laps around dickson (flat driving, until empty!)
Driving Conditions:
I worked all the accessories: intermittent use of wipers / heater / a-c the whole time, no head lights, outside temperature was 9 degrees down to 7 degrees at the end (according to BOM)
All in all it was a great drive! Nice work Blade EV! :)
