I agree - as I wrote in a post in the "Peukert" thread. I also agree most of us quickly develop the ability to guesstimate our range better since we take into account the final destination and elevation changes on the way. The car manufacturers could do similar by giving you the option of entering your destination, and using google maps or similar to determine elevation changes plus gps for current vehicle location for more accurate estimates. They could do even better, by recording actual energy/mile used, taking pack sag into account based on historical data for given grade and vehicle speed, etc. I doubt most people would bother to enter their destination though except on longer trips - but that is where it would be most useful
