That's my thought too. I do fine in an ICEV with a gas gauge. And in an EV I'm totally happy if I know the percent of charge remaining. I can see where it is and how fast it's falling, and adjust my driving to suit. Heck, I drove a Comuta-Car with nothing but an expanded-scale voltmeter to help me guess the state of charge. I realize that there's an ignorance epidemic these days, but I hope that most people sensible enough to own EVs are also sufficiently well educated to know that a heavy right foot cuts EV range the same as it cuts ICEV MPG, to watch the instruments, and to compensate accordingly. And if the EV has enough smarts to estimate reasonably well how much range is left, that's a nice luxury.
