When I drive my EV, I am conscious of speed. Not righteously, but it in the subconscious. When I drive my gas car I just drive.
I just realized why. When I drive 60 MPH instead of 75MPH in my EV, the energy savings is 50%... this translates to DOUBLE range which I might want that day. But in a gas car where 75% of the energy in the gas tank is just going to be burned as heat, then the 50% savings in air-drag energy is only 25% of the 50% or translates to only an 8% savings in gas... Yawn... ON days when I know for sure I don't need the extra range, I love driving the EV pedal-to-the-metal to show off the acceleration. The added energy cost is only a few pennies and I replenish it entirely for free from my home solar. Hence I can accelerate guilt free, and I can conserve to go the extra miles. MY choice.
