Came across this very nice writeup by an i-MiEV owner:

Is Morgan in Austin one of our forum members?
I love his Range Equation:
R > C + 2E + 5
Where R = Range, C = Commute, E = errand
In other words, your EV needs enough juice to do your daily commute, handle two typical errands, and reserve a cushion of five miles to avoid anxiety on the way home.
I see that Vike also contributed an excellent discussion on heating and use of a heat pump.
