You must be in a area with little A/C use <grin>  We get anywhere from 16 
to 19+ haven't reached 20 much.  A/C use kills us.  We live in a land of 
double 90s.  90 degree F and 90 % humidity over much of the summer.  
Pretty nasty area.  With the EV for some reason having the side windows 
open while driving sets up a nasty thumping of the inside air.  Hard on 
the ole eardrums.  Means the wimpy kids in the back whine about A/C when 
I won;t let them keep the windows open <grin>  Front windows are fine but 
sure wish they had the vent windows like older cars <pout>
