EV Specific Driving Tips?

What do EV owners do to maximize range? Of course there's the obvious like being sparing with the climate control and preheating or cooling, but there are some techniques I've read about that almost seem contradictory to gas techniques.

Most people say they use "L" gear or maximum regen when releasing the gas (throttle, power, go?) pedal and get better range. Are they just bad drivers and the regen is a bandaid? I've read about members here doing it as well. What about pulse and glide vs constant speed? Fast or slow acceleration?

So what are your EV driving tips that might be different than a dino-juice powered car?
