It’s because of the EPA cycle that favors city driving, an environment that’s best for EV consumption.
If you then drive the case on highways, of course EVs will perform worse, as you remove 55% of the situations were the EV outperforms an ICE.
If you do a 100% city drive, the results would be opposite, and EVs would perform better than it’s combustion cousin.
We don’t see the same here in Europe, where both EVs and ICEs are going through the same WLTP cycle, which is a bit more “life like” than your EPA.
As both a ICE and EV driver for the last 10 years, I’ve seen that both my ICEs and EVs are underperforming about 10% year around. The EV is worse in winter, and over performing in summer, my ICE is more thirsty than the sticker all year around.
But that’s driving my usual driving cycle.
If you have a 100% highway driving cycle, expect a lower range on your EV, compared to the sticker that’s 55% city driving.

I fail to see that this is new information??
