Every auto manufacture exaggerates range, whether it’s battery or MPG.
I've found the max range on the Hyundai Kona EV's is fairly accurate. It can vary quite a bit with stuff like AC/heat but generally in reasonable weather it gets close to what was advertised.
I have to say the same for the Kia EV6. After a fill charge, driving a few miles on the road yields a very accurate estimate.
