But the range is calculated based on the energy efficiency, and all drivers (should) care about that number, since that's the cost.

Range != Efficiency. Electric motors are all pretty efficient. It has more to do with how big a battery they were able to squeeze into the thing.

This is different from ICE vehicles where fuel efficiency is more variable and does affect range more.
