Maybe I'm missing something, but I think we already have a number that indicates this factor. It's the EV's highest charging rating in kW. I think that typically that varies from 6.6kW to 100kW or even 200kW.
I guess that doesn't account for different EVs' varying energy consumption, but really, is that so critical? Besides, it's not as straightforward as it seems. For example, by this scheme a Renault Zoe would be rated 50kW and an EU Tesla 3 170kW. The Tesla wins. Or does it? The Zoe can charge on AC at 22kW, or on DC at 50kW. The Tesla 3 can charge on AC at 11kW, or on DC at 170kW. If you have only AC charging available, the Zoe wins, unless the AC charging point tops out at 6.6 or 7.2kW. Then it's a tie. If you have DC charging available, the 3 wins, unless the DC charging point tops out at only 50kW. Then it's a tie. When you throw AC vs DC charging point availability and kW limitations into the mix, I'm not so sure that ANY score would be definitive. I also agree that labeling this factor "driveability" is a really really bad idea. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
