    Umm, there are no EVs you should be going 75mph for hours at a time in unless you want to trash your range.

    This is effectively telling people in the US they shouldn’t own EVs.

      Why? Most places in the US even recommend no more than 65mph for highway driving. And most gas vehicles are most efficient for gas usage between 55-60mph. There is a reason highway speed limits back during the 70s were lowered to 55 by Nixon. It also dropped vehicle fatality rate by miles driven in half.
