Let's also not forget that this issue applied to ICE vehicles as well for decades. The EPA city/highway MPG ratings were always way higher on paper than in practice until they reformulated their testing several years back to give more accurate numbers.
Do you have a source for the reformulation? I’m newer in industry and don’t remember a reformulation. I’d be interested to know more
