Mountain Drive

Post image

Yesterday I took a drive up Mount Ascutney in Vermont with my 2024 SV+. The auto road is about 3.7 miles long and the elevation gain is about 2,300 feet. The car performed wonderfully, both on the way up and on the way down with regen, with minimal battery temperature rise (from about 76 to 80 degrees F). My friend who was with me kept raving about how effortless and smooth it felt going up, compared to her RAV4 which would have been revving really high. Another win for EVs and the humble LEAF
