A transmission might give off EPA range boosts. MIGHT. But the cars are designed for the EPA test. Or the WLTP test. Real world doesn't matter nearly as much.
Also most people need maybe 150 miles of range to cover 99% of driving days. Do you buy your car for the 1% of times? I don't. That's why all my cars have 5 seats and not 7. I'm not going to carry around another 500 lbs of vehicle just so I can take one car instead of two a handful of a times a year.
