Pulse and glide is less efficient than constant speed. Hypermiling in an EV isn't that different from ICE cars;

- Look ahead know what's coming
- Coast when possible if you need to reduce speed for eg. a roundabout
- If you need to reduce speed even more engage regen
- Only brake when you can't use regen to stop fast enough

Most EV's only engage regen for the first part of the brake pedal, only after pushing further you'll actually use your brake.
