> So, the range impact on a trip with an uphill component will often not be substantive

All I can say is that didn't match my experience as an EV owner (leaser) at all.

At 100% battery, indicated range was 90 miles and on level ground that estimate was just about right.

But on the commute over a hill, 30 miles, I'd arrive at work with only ~10 miles left. So it used up 80 miles of indicated range to travel only 30 miles! Due to the uphill portion. Recovery on the downhill is minimal as mentioned in earlier post, just a couple miles of indicated range.

I'm sorry to hear your experience wasn't great. It sounds like we're at a bit of an impasse, because our personal experiences vary. If you'd like a demonstration in my vehicle, let me know.

This is my experience, but the point is that in a gas car you'd get even worse milage because it would be working hard going up just like the EV but it wouldn't regenerate anything.

Indeed, very true. But on ICE cars I don't worry about that because the range is 300-450 miles (instead of 90 miles) and recharging takes 5 minutes (instead of 5 hours).
