    If you really want values to compare between EVs, consider picking a range measurement specification (WLTP, NEDC or EPA) and look up the range specified as tested.

    EPA is city driving only, so probably ignore that. Most if not all manufacturers give their range in WLTP, so that is somewhat directly comparable: notwithstanding software restrictions, BMS limitations in various weather conditions etc, as these cars are computers at their core and vastly more dynamic compared to a combustion engine.

    No mainstream measurement spec may meet your requirements though IMO - may be a better idea for you to pick some EVs to compare, and look at real world accounts from other users. All the range in the world is useless if your EV’s computer crashes while charging preventing you from fast charging or operating certain parts of the vehicle, for example
