Yes, real world data is definitely needed.

Remember, EV battery capacity never reaches 100% full charge or 0% discharge.
Due to SOC buffers built in to protect the cells, the vehicle will never get to use 100% of the battery.

Theoretically, my 72kWh battery in my Mach E, with 230 mile range it should get 3.2 mi/kWh but not even close due to the SOC buffers on both ends.

In real life, it's a lot less.
FWIW the 63 kWh is what SLATE is saying is the usable capacity... the actually battery spec is 65 kWh total; if you believe google.

Yeah, it always varies. I haven’t found Slate to play fast and loose with their numbers so far. Remember when they advertised 150 miles for the old “standard range” option? No one would do that in the US market unless they were serious…
