When Formula 1 effectively first had a fuel consumption limit (with fuel tank size limited and no refuelling allowed) in 1986 we did a lot of studies on what influenced fuel used, which is exactly equivalent to range.
There were the normal engineering solutions but driving style had a very strong impact even at the same lap time.
Some drivers have great mechanical sympathy, some don't.
I do think people get over concerned by range though, probably because marketing and press people, and the plethora of youtube warriors go on and o (and on, and on) about it.
