Finally saw a video of an EV owner who was truthful about range, and the numbers regurgitated by everyone are based on bullshit (EPA “rated” range multiplied by state of charge %) and the top 20%/bottom 10% of the battery is worthless on a long trip. 250 mile reported range ends up being 150 mile actual.

All depends how you drive and where you drive. I average EPA range on mine. Let's not forget that EPA is 55% city driving where EVs are more efficient.
On a 100% charge showing 330 mile range, I can go 250 miles at 80 mph unless most of it is uphill. However, around town, I can go 350 miles on a charge.
My commute is 90% highway BUT traffic is slow most days which helps efficiency. I average 250 wh/mile on my morning commute. EPA is like 280 wh/mile.
