If your car won't hardly go, check the "power bars".  When you look at the display over the steering column, do you see the usual number of bars or  are there fewer than normal?  For example, here's mine on a coldish day, there's 4 bars on the right (ePOWER) side -- way fewer than normal, that's bad -- so drive power is diminished -- in this case just due to the cold motor/battery/etc.:

OTOH, here's mine again, and although it's now pretty warm, I've got "full bars" -- 8 I think -- that's good:

If you've got fewer than all 8 bars, your car's telling you something's wrong and the drivetrain can't give full power. If you're having to pull over all the time, I'd think it would've shown an error, but maybe not.
