I disagree. City driving uses far more energy per 100 km than freeway driving. All the stops and starts consume energy. I know because I've driven a Yaris EV conversion for the past 4.5 years. During this time I've put 57000 km on the clock. Highway consumption can be as low as 12 to 13 kWh/100 km. City stop start driving uses about 18 kWh/100 km. What you fail to explain is that speed counts on a freeway. Secret is to go with the flow in lanes other than the fast lane. Drag is proportional to the square of your speed so try to maintain a constant speed of 80 to 90 km/h.
Thank you for your comment. All test done with any EV's always show that EV's use more on the Highway/Motorway then in cities. Stop and Go is a good thing for regen because it puts energy back in the battery.
