That's almost always too and from work in the city, so when I take it to the highway the estimated range drops like a brick. Especially speeds above 100 km/h (~60 mph) really drains the battery.
That said, if I enter the route in the Google Maps-based navigation, I find that it fairly accurately predicts SOC at the destination. So I tend to use that, or just do my own estimation.
Though, AFAIK the Ariya has an Amazon-based system, so not sure how that relates.
1) Gas consumption does not have as much variance as EV. Actually there are canceling effects because gas engines are more efficient on highways, but drag is higher. As a result the amount of fuel consumed is more predictable and therefore the range is more predictable.
2) The safety net of the "I'll fill up when pointer is near empty" habit. This can be harder for EV in exceptional trips i.e. not predictable daily commute, which is exactly where the chance of being further away from fast charging is higher.
I think 2) will get better over time and as we get more used to it. And about 1), it's pretty cool that EV are so much more efficient at slower speeds - it's a real testament for the technology.
I think I'd be more happy if my car split my range estimates into "city driving" and "highway driving", and provided those two different estimates side by side.
Since my car doesn't know where I'm going, without telling it through the nav system, that would be a much more useful approach.
Of course, that would also mean people would see the much lower range, so I guess it would affect sales to first-time EV buyers.
