The Avg Trip metric doesn't at all take into account the loiter and distance to fare mileage. Also the MPGe mile ratings on EVs are great for comparing one EV

The Avg Trip metric doesn't at all take into account the loiter and distance to fare mileage.
Also the MPGe mile ratings on EVs are great for comparing one EV to another but as an EV owner I do not think they're representative of the actual range of an EV.
I have an Nissan Leaf with a 24kWh battery and my 25 mile commute uses anywhere from 8-12kWh of charge. With a range rating of 84 miles, that's 28-42 miles. You might dismiss that by saying I'm driving aggressively but the Leaf's range estimator usually indicates 90+ miles when I'm at 100% charge and is based on the previous trip's performance, so I'm beating the average.
