Highway driving strategy
Post Body

Recently I purchased a 2018 Leaf S. By far the best car I've ever owned, no complaints. Proud EV owner! As you all know, owning and driving an EV has subtle nuances - from charging to route planning, etc. I have a 60 mile trip i make on the weekends, and while I have zero range anxiety about it, I wanted to get everyone's opinion on a good highway driving strategy. The first few trips I've done were in Eco and E-pedal turned on, driving an average of 80-100 MPH, AC on low. Fun as hell, and takes 50 percent of the battery. However, this last trip changed by setting cruise control to 65 - and I only used 35 percent. That's a 15 percent / 22 mile range gain! Wow! With that being said... What else could I do to get more range out of my car on the highway?

It might've been closer to that; I didn't stick to high speeds due to driving be a liiiittle unstable. No idea if I have bigger tires or not. But the lack of any noise besides the wind has always been fun :)
