> Most EVs get ~3.3 mi/kWh.

Not even close. BMW runs electric trucks between production facilities and our 169kWh trucks (Terberg YT202-EV) which haul up to 34,000kg get at most 100km out of that, often less. So you're looking at about 0.6km/kWh or 0.37mi/kWh. It will be more with less stopping (although there isn't a lot of stopping on our routes) but nowhere near your estimate.




I appreciate your data! However I wasn't trying to say that trucks will get 3.3 mi/kWh, this was apparently quite confusingly phrased, as I meant passenger vehicles.

My spitball of 1.1 mi/kWh was clearly way too high still.
