So does it? I don't know, since I haven't driven an EV enough to say from experience. But if so, I'd like to know why.

False. E = 1/2MV^2 is basic physics:
Kinetic energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The amount of energy required to reach a given velocity is the same, regardless of how long it takes. The fuel economy hit in cars must be due to different engine efficiency at different load/throttle.
