I think you have it right. If the remaining range meter goes up because
you drove easier, someone who doesn't know how it works might think the EV
really had

Yeah, that would be breaking the rules of physics, unless it's mostly
downhill.
What is the deal
I would imagine this is not just a misunderstanding of the laws of physics. It
probably also has to do with the guess-o-meter syndrome found in many EV's. We
all know how hard it is to know exactly how much range you have left, and the
OEM ev's face the same challenge, yet they often display
just be glad the media is getting things wrong in favor of EVs for a change

This model has a regenerative breaking system, meaning if you break
gradually you recharge the battery. Smith said drivers can return from a
short drive with more kilometres than they started with because they
regenerate power from smart breaking.
Forgetting breaking for a moment, have Ford
