"Taycan spends a total of less than 2.5 hours charging on a cross-country drive, the shortest charging time to cross the United States in an electric vehicle – the benchmark being 7 hours, 10 minutes, and 1 second"
What did he do, drive 25MPH average?
It is just advertising for Electrify America (owned by VW, like Porsche), and a worthless Record without telling how long they took to drive the whole distance.
A Tesla Model S crossed the country in 42 hours and 17 minutes.

Peak efficiency is at about 40-50mph, at least for Teslas:

It says on the chart km/h not miles/h!
It was about 5 days and with few details on total energy consumed.
In electric cars, there shouldn't be a huge difference in efficiency wrt to the speed
There actually is, because wind resistance goes up dramatically with speed.
... if you drive in a vacuum.
