> computer only can assume based on average usage

It is clear from the discussion that it isn’t basing it on that at all. Would be overjoyed if it was based on average efficiency for the last 50 miles I drove. It isn’t.




I meant EPA average usage. And good it shouldn't.


Very few people attain EPA average efficiency, so insisting on putting a range indicator based on EPA averages seems silly.

Most ICE cars calculate range based on a long term average of a person's usage with some small amount of pessimism. Why should an EV do worse?
