I think you mean 195s. Assuming it is an I3S with 6J rears 5,5J fronts then you can put 195/55R20 on the rears no problem and also on the front if you wish.

Simple answer no. The cost of the battery upgrade is much more than the price difference between smaller and larger battery cars.

I just went for 195/55R20 all round on my I3S as they give more choice. All tyres in the EU have an official measured rolling resistance rating going from E worst to A best. The Ecopias are class B and the Bridgestones are only a C. Michelin Cross Climates are B and are excellent all season...

Why would you want to open the car door whilst it is moving and more to the point why would you want the car to do anything else other than stop damn quick if you did.

If the 12v battery is worn out then it might not hold charge long enough between switchons. It probably could be arranged to continuously top up but then a fading 12v might continuously pull charge and lose it running the risk of fully flattening the traction battery which is very damaging and...

The whole point of the 12v battery is to power all the systems that support the traction battery control so if the 12v is flat there is no way the car can get power from the traction battery. If it was recoverable by itself there would be no point in having the 12v battery.

Although I think the 80% charging is the EV equivalent of a fad diet I will suggest a way to achieve it as it is the OPs right to do what he wants with his car. The answer is that if you have a sufficiently smart charger such as the OHME one then you can set the charge level on that. It even...
