   Just putting it out there. Not all EV's are dishonest about their range. My #Skoda Enyaq is surprisingly precise, even at bit conservative.

     I have experienced battery anxiety now twice. Having a car that is conservative when estimating remaining range, is a good thing.
     Congrats.

     My impression is that speed and hills are the crucial factors. I thought my Hyundai Ioniq was optimistic until I went to the UK, and had to drive in relatively flat landscapes and in fog (ie. more slowly than normal) - and there it was conservative.

     I haven't looked it up, but my guess is they calculate the range at less than 80kph (50mph), and not going predominantly uphill (or down).
