It's Nice When You Exceed the Rated Range

Serious question - is there more of an impact to range due to 70+mph speeds or jackrabbit starts and high acceleration? I suspect the acceleration is more of an impact and understand that how long you are at speed and how many fast starts you do will also influence the range.
Speeds over 75 are the worst because they are sustained. That said...who drives under 75?:D:rolleyes:
 
I routinely get below 230 wh/mi. My average is lifetime 239wh/mi with several long road trips of 500 miles each way. Acceleration is the killer of efficiency (along with using the heater higher than 70F). I'm in no way a slow poke. I drive 70-75
