By vehicle
Real-world range is the usable battery, measured from shared drives (or estimated from the EPA figures), × the real efficiency, at the drives' average speed (weighted by distance, like the efficiency). EPA ratings include charging losses, so vs EPA compares at the battery. Between fast charges: from one DC fast charge to the next on a road trip: 10% to 80% of the real-world range, and the time that takes at the drives' average speed, so it follows the filters.
