By driving between 200 and 300km/h which is common enough on the autobahn. It's the most important factor and he doesn't mention it. EVs lose efficiency as speed increases due to wind resistance.

I lived in Germany for over a year and not once drove 200km/h. Pretty much no one did. Everyone drives 120-140.
If you're not in the city area that is. Or not stuck in traffic because of construction. Which is always.
If you drive 300km/h do not even mention efficiency.

So 240 km took only 30% of your battery? What model of car is that?

I just don't believe you. This would result in a real world range of 800km at highway speeds. Even the most expensive EVs like the Lucid Air would struggle to do this. Especially in cold weather, and especially at highway speeds. This makes me doubt your claim about doing a 7,000km road trip and never experiencing any of the issues I outline. I've never met an EV owner in my life who has never experienced at least some of those. You could have at least made your lie believable.
Also, I don't believe you. How do you manage to spend whole battery in hours? Two hours on autobahn driving 90-120km/h in city zones or just plain stuck in traffic because of construction is like 30% at best. May be 50% if you're lucky.
