Explore E+3, E+2, E+1 PRO range

[CXS100]

I am looking at buying either a Giant Explore E+3, an Explore E+2, or an Explore E+1 Pro.
I ride gravel roads and some pavement, rolling hills, with rides up to 60 miles long. I ride mostly in Econo mode. My question concerns RANGE and battery size/type.

For COST reasons I would like to get the the E+3, and it has an EnergyPak 500Wh battery ($3799cdn).
The E+2 has an "EnergyPak Smart" 500Wh ($4199cdn).
The E+1 Pro has an EnergyPak Smart 625 ($4999cdn)
- Would the E+3 with the Energy Pak 500Wh have enough power to do 60 miles of gravel & pavement riding?
- If not, would the E+2 or the E+1 PRO have enough battery power to do 60 miles of gravel & pavement riding?

I have a 2019 E3 but added the 500Wh battery, and here are my ranges:

eco+ = 120KM+
eco = 100KM+
normal = 90KM
Sport = 70KM
Sport + = 50 - 60KM

these estimates are non scientific, and it's prob on the conservative side.

Thanks for the numbers! Is that biking on pavement or gravel, and is it hilly or flat?

Mostly pavement, I'd say it's 70% flat (Toronto)

I did not understand that part. Are you riding with a spare battery?

It's a separate business, the bike came with the 400 version originally

Before the pandemic and kids, I used to ride to work almost daily, a 50km round trip. I was also planning to go ride some more after work, so that's why i biught a 2nd battery when I see one showed up to balance the wear and tears.

Now I am working from home full time and use my ebike to primarily drop off the kid to school and grocery shopping....

I hope the battery has a long lifespan, as I don't think I have the luxury to go on long ride for awhile with little ones at home lol
