We need something like J2807, but for EV range.
J2807 is the realistic tow rating tourcher test all the OEMs (but Toyota) are scared of. Pretty much if you attempt J2807 with the manufactures sky high tow number, you will need a new truck about half way through the test.

Why, EPA rating is as accurate for EVs "range" as it is for gas fe.
My Volt is EPA rated for 37 miles, it's a very sad day when that is all I get, now that temps are 40+ my range bobs from 65-70 miles.
I don't think we need a 100mph EPA rating metric to be "realistic"
