Since aerodynamic drag is the largest force acting against a car at highway speeds, why don't electric cars have an anemometer to tell what the speed is through the air? This would certainly increase the accuracy of range calculations.
A 20mph tailwind would give many extra miles while a 20mph headwind will take away a ton of miles.
A simple wind speed turbine in the grille would probably be enough for the calculations.
