FYI, accelerating hard doesn't really increase your energy use. The motors are not that much less efficient at higher powers. Lots of ICE engines are more efficient at higher powers too.I'm sure that will go up, as I like to stomp the right pedal whenever I get a chance.
The thing that really eats energy is using the brakes, or heater. This literally converts your energy into heat. Acceleration converts your energy into motion, which either gets you distance, or can be regenned into the battery if you don't use the brakes.
