Maintaining a constant speed on a flat highway isn't hard, but doing it on terrain that goes up and down a lot is much harder in an EV. Maybe it's because every car I've driven before was a manual, but I got really in tune with judging my speed based on my car's engine sound. The visual change going from 60 mph to 70 mph because you started going downhill is not nearly as obvious as the change in engine note as the RPMs rise.
Going through the hills on I-5 near the Oregon/California border, cruise control is an absolute MUST in an EV.
