I encountered an atypical amount of stop-and-go traffic on my morning commute, today. No accidents that I could see, so I’m not sure what caused the congestion, but it was pretty bad. Roads that were normally 45-55mph became stop-and-go. In my previous ICE vehicles this was a MPG killer. Not the case in an EV. My R1T put up an efficiency number that impressed me: 293W/mi. Traffic still sucks, but seeing that made it suck a little less.

Strange, I didn't take a picture but I was stuck in stop and go traffic for about an hour on Sunday and my graph dropped below the 2 line.

Maybe different thresholds of stop and go. That hour was to go 2 miles lol. My calf is sore from the one pedal driving during that nightmare.

This is where ACC really shines, IMHO. Really cuts down on the soreness.
