This is something everybody with an ev already knows. Drag is a big factor at high speeds. But under 40mph (65kph) it’s pretty negligible. If you did a constant 30mph you could probably triple your estimated range.
With an ICE vehicle, you’re wasting a lot of energy at low speeds being inefficient. But with an electric motor, you’re always using exactly as much energy as needed to move.
Regenerative braking has more influence on battery charge in stop-and-go traffic than it does on thw highway
Next you tell us that they have more mileage in moderate temperatures rather than in the winter or the summer…
The reason this is interesting is because it’s the reverse of gas cars. Typically the best efficiency of a gas vehicle is on the highway but for EVs you get much more efficiency in local streets
Well that’s only true if you don’t drive fast. When you go above 120 km/h you will see that the fuel consumption increases noticeably
