I think what you meant to say is that 75mph is the ideal driving speed. And this is only for one set driving distance, someone modeled it across various driving distances (realistic distances between various SpCs), and the sweet spot is somewhere in the 75-85mph range.
Indeed, that's why I said most of the time, and I gave just one example. There are clearly some specific instances where it's quicker to drive slower in order to avoid a supplementary charge.
Actually, it could be interesting to have a web app that computes that. While waiting at the SC, one could enter its destination (or next SC), current SoC and model, and the app would compute the ideal SoC to reach and drive speed, given the temperature, wind, maybe even the forecasted rain at the location. And @WannabeOwner could show that to his wife!
Maybe such app already exists, but probably not considering weather forecasts, which have a big effect up here in Canada.
