Spoiler: Mercedes EQS 450+ with 299 miles, then you have to stop for half an hour. Its the recharging that gets you.

It's a bullshit test when every vehicle tested has a different size battery, they'd have been better off listing what the kwh/100km figures were for motorway driving.
But as you say, charging speed is more of a factor
That doesn't make it a bullshit test. It makes it a different test. IMO range is more important than efficiency.
And if DCFC stations were everywhere, then I'd agree that would be more of a factor. But given that a 15 mile difference in range can be the difference between 100 miles between stops and 200 miles between stops, I'd still say range is more important than charge speed.
Doubly so since the highest range EVs are also among the highest charging speed EVs.
