The efficiency that the electric vehicle returned in the steep uphill section and downhill was mind-boggling!

• Efficiency of ~4km/kWh during the steepest hill climb (considering 100% climb)

AC Charging Setup

Covered Manali - Sissu - Manali the next day and also checked out the Adani charger in Sathak Regency. The charger is working, but it's in the basement parking and the entry and exit is very tricky.

On the way to Sissu

At Sissu waterfall
