If you were 52 miles away from home, 5300ft above sea level with just 8 miles remaining in the battery would you be able to make it back if your house was at sea level?

I believe you could.

That is a 2% slope.

I am frequently driving one road where I can let the car roll with about 70 km/h, 44 mph for several miles. That has a slope of 2.2%.

That's fascinating. I'm going to have to go & try something like that out over here.
 
I would recemmend the Lake District. Loved to drive the roads there, although that was with a Diesel 25 years ago.
