On the flip side, I wish EV makers would advertise range at higher speeds.
Hell, I wish ICE car makers would advertise MPG at higher speeds.
Every weekend I head up around 200 miles away, and it's on an empty mountain pass with a 80MPH speed limit.
In town, my sports sedan gets the same fuel economy as my old Tacoma, but on that trip the Tacoma consumes over 50% more if driven even remotely comparably (80+). The sports sedan has surprisingly little variance between 70-90MPH.
While the truck's aerodynamics aren't helping, I've experienced the same in other "fuel-efficient" vehicles, where the fuel economy falls off a cliff once you go above 60MPH. A Chevy Aveo I owned was actually one of the worst offenders, you'd get on the highway and get SUV-tier fuel mileage.
