Yes, slower speeds (city) get better mileage (thus range) than higher speeds (highway). But the reason we care more about highway range than city is because most people won't be driving hundreds of miles a day in the city. Range is mostly irrelevant in the city if you just return home each night and plug in easily and have a full battery by morning.Most of the people who made videos up till now have always gone on highways (such as The Smoking Tire and TFL) and they reach the EPA numbers. It would be interesting to have them drive in a downtown environment for 6 hours and see how many miles they reach by never bringing the vehicle above say, 50mph.
Where range really matters is on long road trips, where you have to make stops to slowly recharge along the way.
