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.
