    @kezo mate, you do realise that ICE can’t do that either?  There’s a drain on the electrical system for heating regardless of the fuel.  There’s fuel inefficiencies due to temperature as much as storage inefficiencies in EVs.

    This goes back to what I’m saying about marketing pointing out the most variable factor as a sales strategy.  Telling all customers your car is capable of 400 miles doesn’t even take any level of intelligence to counter when you get in a car and the number in big numbers on the drivers display says something substantially different.   Go for a test drive in an e5008 capable of 417 miles and the GoM states 298 you’re going to get an earful as a salesperson.  Tell them they’ll get 4.8 miles for every kWh and nobody has a clue the GoM is gibberish.
