    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.
