Saw a black or blue CR-Z cruising HWY 180 through the giant Sequoias this weekend. How did the battery hold out cruising the Sierra Mountains?

The black or blue CR-Z you saw in Sequoia was not me...but I do drive my NSBP in the Sierra at least once a week.

Going up the steep and continuous 9 1/2 mile grade in (4th gear) between Bishop and Mammoth is no problem...still a couple of bars left at the top. I've never totally depleted the IMA even on the Hwy 120 climb up Tioga Pass to Yosemeite's East Gate at 10,000+ feet.
