Depends on the company and product.
Traditional hybrids had all these details. Most plug in EV’s only show 15-85% as 0-100 because you have a fall back for range extension. Many EV show the full range because you might daily drive just fine on 15-85% while charging at home and want to take the occasional long trip or use 0-15% capacity if a charging station is down etc.
Also, charge cycles become less important as range increases an EV with a 220 mile range is noticeably worse at 180 mile range where a 440 mile EV sees 1/2 as many charge cycles and is still perfectly useable with a 360 mile range.
