Yeah, our mobile phones aren’t helping here. It’s so annoying to see the phone go to 20% and then drop off a cliff per unit time. Cars have to be really good at giving precise and confident range capability, with a safety factor.

They are.

But also you come to understand the connection between real world conditions and "km of expected range consumed per real km", which ranges from -0.8 (regen, long downhill, battery ready to receive charge), 1 (flat, 80 kph, 21 degrees outside), and 2 or even 3 (steep uphill with heater or AC on).

Or maybe you do if you're a HN reader... :)
