What I stated is that when close to home it will not bother to recharge back up to it's charge sustain level. That has no correlation with going slowly.

I was underlining that the car should be able to sustain normal usage, that not every driver would follow the manual and plug-in the car at 35%. By 'going slow' I was trying to sugest a cartoonish driver's obediance by stopping whatever he's doing and go home to recharge the battery being carefull not to floor it - more like a metaphor. I didn't say that the car should slow down automatically when the battery is dicharged - I detailed quite the oposite, that the car should have constant performance parameters(acceleration, speed).
