I'd add to the mix, Wind, it makes a noticeable difference.
Also Tyres. I was riding stock Swarbe Smart Sams and getting a solid 45-50 miles per charge on the Bosch 500w powertube battery (I'm 75kg). I even got 75 miles mainly on flat road and in eco and Tour! Upgraded to Michelin eWild's which are night and day better for handling offroad, but clearly they don't roll as well which is taking maybe 10 miles off my total distance!
To be fair, I also got the Bosch 85nm SW update at the same time as the tyres but generally I ride in Tour mode which supposedly doesnt use the extra Torque. We are also coming into winter so temperature plays a role too...
