The car will be more efficient at higher altitudes due to less dense air, lower temperatures notwithstanding. The battery shouldn't be cold towards the end of that trip with all the climbing. The car is actually 2 tons or more with passengers. Figure 1.5 kwh per 1000 ft for all the climbs and about 1.0 kwh per 1000 ft regen on the descents. EV tripplanner lists about 16,000 ft. for the climbs and about 10,000 ft for descents on that route. 16 x 1.5 = 24 kwhs and 10 x 1.0 = 10 kwhs so net is 14 kwhs extra or about 56 miles so add that to your 176. A LR RWD should make it easily, AWD a little tighter.
