30% range loss on a hilly route with a net zero elevation change??? Really? I have no experience with it but that just sounds WAY more than I'd expect.And lots of mountains. Yes, you regain a lot in the downhills and braking but probably only 60-70% so lots of elevation changes will result in at least another 30% range loss even with a net zero elevation change.
I was expecting almost no difference at a net zero elevation difference between start and end UNLESS there's steep enough grades where you use regen. And on 65+ MPH interstates, that usually requires steep grades (i.e. where the car coasts faster than your speed and needs to be slowed down). I wouldn't expect much of that on I-70 through PA. Even in CO I was expecting <10% loss on a net zero elevation difference (above and beyond speed and temp losses).
