Stark Varg SM enough range for my use?

[Sproesser]

Hey all,
I want a Stark Varg SM to commute to town, but I'm worried about the range. Round trip is 40 miles with 4000ft elevation drop into town, and up on the way back. 60 mph speed limit for 32 miles, and around town speeds the other 8 miles. Warm to hot climate. I don't want to have to put around either, or I'd just get a 390 duke with 75 mpg for cheap. Does anyone have experience enough to answer this? Thanks!

40mi is very doable, although 30mi at 60mph is maybe not. For reference cruising around 45mph usually nets me 1mi per 2%, 60+ will give you more like 1mi per 3-5% which is quite bad. I have a few range-test videos w/ the phone and mileage overlays on YouTube done on my EX with 17s (so very comparable), might give you a better idea of battery burn-rate for your specific situation:

• 32mi / 58%
• 48mi / 77%
• 40mi / 85% (colder weather, but you can really see how bad the 60+ battery burnrate is, from 15:00 to 16:00)

If you have any possibility to charge in town, the portable charger should do the trick, even just toping up for 30 min at 110 V should give you an extra 10-15%?
