I forgot to make one more comment that I should have included in my post on driving the car. The regenerative braking is very effective. It's like using moderate braking in a conventional car and was much stronger than I had expected. For approximately 90% plus of your stops you would not touch the brake pedal to stop the car. It reminded me of driving some electric golf carts that have regenerative braking. Most golf carts do not have it because of the slightly higher cost.
