From your own source that 40% is wildly inaccurate. Even if it was accurate a 40% range loss from 700 miles is 420 miles.
Safety factor based on what though? There is nothing to support that most cars would lose 40% of their range, but you added 10% to real world data and called it a “safety factor” to try to legitimize what you said.
Yes that’s… what a safety factor is. You add a margin on the worst case scenario to cover what you didn’t foresee. When discussing something online, especially off the cuff, adding in safety factors especially when it’s something you’re biased towards is just good practice.
For example, things that add into that safety factor are things you’d want to include when doing the same discussion on ICE cars, where the HVAC can impact fuel economy substantially. Something that isn’t included in the analysis from above.
