Range in EVs is impacted very little by weight

  Exactly. I was very surprised to find out a fully loaded 40 ton electric truck only uses ~100kw / 100km ( https://www.youtube.com/@electrictrucker https://www.youtube.com/@electrictrucker ) when my 2 ton Volvo averages 20-22kw/100km on road trips.

    Superfastmatt did a test recently where he proved to himself that the front area of the vehicle and trailer is the dominant factor on mileage, not the weight towed or friction. For a guy trying to drive 300 mph though maybe he should have been able to do that with math instead of sketchy road tests.

    kWh not kW.

    Newton’s first law helps out a lot here.
