To be fair, MPG estimates for gasoline cars are terribly inflated too. Still, you don't get the temperature variability with gasoline.
I assume most of this problem comes from the temperature of the battery. I don't know much about Li batteries, but I wonder if this could be corrected by temperature-dependent insulation of the battery.
