Old Leafs had relatively short range when new, and their batteries were among the worst-degrading batteries used in EVs (both because of the type of battery chemistry and because they were air cooled instead of liquid cooled).

Newer EVs tend to have 240+ mile ranges. In a place with relatively low speed limits and no need for using the heater, attaining that range or better should not be difficult.
