Here's a related observation: my ecodriving has always involved understanding how much range I have left vs how far I need to drive. So, I am far more comfortable setting out on a drive that is not routine, because I can look up the distance online, and I know that arriving home with a few miles left is no different than arriving home with 20 or 30 or 40 miles left.

It comes down to that range cushion and whether or not you are not worried about using most of the range.

Being a practiced ecodriver makes a better EV driver.
