Continuing here is the part 2 i.e return trip of Arun from mangalore to bangalore. You can check out Part 1 here.
Return trip from Mangalore to Bangalore in my Kona Electric. Lot of people returning back to Bangalore. Queues in all the tolls as "Fastag" was slow. But a very enjoyable drive with zero range anxiety. Left my in-laws at 10.20 am with 100% SOC.
Arrived at my farm house 50 kms away with 86% SOC and 285 kms of range left.
Plugged into to charge with my wall charger and charged back to 100% SOC by the time I had my lunch and left at 2.30pm.
Reached Sakaleshpur with 218 kms or range left and 65% SOC.
Reached Advaith Hyunadai Hassan with 54% SOC and 202 km of range without AC and 195 km with AC. Plugged into charge and was drawing 7kw. Added ~ 60 kms of charge by the time we have some food at a restaurant nearby and came back in an hour.
Reached back home at 9.30pm with 8% SOC and 34 kms of range left. Both onward and return trip with AC at 22-24°C ventilated seats on and in comfort mode. Awesome trip. No range anxiety, full confidence going forward!

Nice to read about the various outstation trips on this forum. Have you always got 340+ kms at 100% SOC ? My Kona shows only 280+ kms at 100% charge.
