For EV cars(1), air drag is the highest range killer. There's a huge difference in range depending if you go 65, 70 or 80. And if you follow cars or push the air by yourself.
Stop and go doesn't really impact range that much, and the low overall speed is a better regime. Although these cars accelerate like crazy so it's hard to resist the pedal when doing stop-and-go.
(1) in fact for all cars, but ICE cars are so inefficient in other regimes that air drag is not a prominent problem until much higher speeds.
