So, as in you could start out with 100% charge, load it up with you and a 1000lbs, and your range display on the dash would read the rated 300 miles. Then after rolling down the road for, say 20 miles it reads 280 miles, you unload the payload, and after you start down the road again, onboard computers that constantly calculate available range would go from 280 up to say 400.
It's like watching the "live" mpg displays on modern ICE vehicles. My MKZ and my Jeep when viewed "live" fluctuate constantly, depending on hills, headwinds, engine load, etc.

I get that, I guess I did ask the correct question. I am mixing towing with payload and that is my fault - they are 2 TOTALLY different things when accounting for MPG or EPM (electrons per mile).
For me I tow and have payload so I am maxed out in terms of MPG negatives.
ICE Truck - 320 mile range towing, with 300 in mind to stop and get fuel for maybe 15 minutes including grabbing lunch and a piss to get 320 more miles. Not towing, 600+ on V8 Gasser.
EV Truck gets???
I am onboard - do not get me wrong, but when I am hauling, going on vacation and/or leaving work... the last damn thing I want to do is stop for 40+ minutes to "charge"
EVs are Metro vehicles (ATM)
