TRAILER RANGE, not even close.

Climbing does but if you go up and down on the same charge the impact is small.

Although there is some regeneration gaing on duting the way back down the hill it is never complete.

Moreover, I've been in situations where going up a long mountain range impacted the traction battery so significantly that I needed to recharge on the way up before I could go back down. Mainly on the high passes in the Rockies, in the Sierras and overall across the Western U.S.

I think we can accurately measure electricity. Your utility provider bills you down to the watt. What cant be measured is driving habits and environmental settings which are proven to have the highest impact on the guess o meter. Even if you daily drive at 70 mph for 30 miles on the highway, consumption will never be the same. The guess o meter tries really hard, its like trying to perfect an equation that can never be perfected.

There is some loss due to inefficiencies when recharging (what the charger delivers is more than what the battery receives), so you’ll need to be careful to account for that when you double-check.

Thanks. I hadn't thought about that. It seems 90% efficiency is what "they" say.

Yeah. And it’s going to be different for each charger + vehicle combination. I think 90% is probably not a bad average to use.
