2024-05-24 e-Stang range test

Since last test in April I replaced the broken regen enable switch and increased the max regen current from 30 amps to 50 amps. Not as good as our Bolt but one pedal driving is now more effective.

Got 30.3 miles until yellow light stuck on, 7.8 miles further than a month ago! Only 73 degree high today vs. 77 last month, but regen seemed to keep the batteries a little warmer, especially downhill. Regen alone probably doesn't explain the 35% improvement; I did more country road driving, 45 MPH with no stopping for several miles but hillier. Maybe the 16 year old batteries are intermittent?
