I have that in my ICE car and I never use it (map of gas stations correlated with remaining fuel). That's not specific to an EV.

Any of those features can be in a smartphone attached to your dashboard. Sure you have some benefits in accessing the car data, but they are small.

Your ICE has a significantly longer range, and the road network has evolved so that you can be reasonably confident that you'll find a filling station when you need one.

Today I'm driving an EV that doesn't have it, and I'm missing it. Different EVs have different ranges and not every filling station on the autobahn has chargers. On the other hand, there are lots of places just off the autobahn which do have chargers. It's a different game. Your mileage may vary of course.
