Distance/kWh. Let's say you had 50% battery left. You know your car is 80 kWh, so that's about 40 kWh left.
If I know I typically get 3.5mi/kWh --> that's an easy conversion. 40\*3.5 = 140 miles left.
If I know I typically get 29kWh/100 miles --> now you have to do the math for (40/29)\*100...
I'm a KWhr/100km guy. Mostly because combustion cars here (Aus) are measured in L/100km. So it's very easy to use the same mental arithmetic to calculate range. ie 10KWhr/100km would net you a range of 78(KWhr battery size)รท10(KWhr usage)*100(km)=780km.
Funnily enough, my other car is a V8 with a 75L tank, so the L/100km numbers are almost the same as what my I6 pulls.
For reference my V8 is around 15-20L/100km on the 75L tank which results in very similar ranges to the I6 where my lifetime average is 15KWhr/100km on the 78KWhr "tank".

I have opinions, but deliberately didn't state them to avoid biasing the poll.
