Why do EVs have a higher range in city driving than highway driving ?

It is interesting to know why EVs have a higher range in city driving than highway driving - normal logic tells us that frequent acceleration and deceleration wastes power and energy, but frequent deceleration in the city leads to the process of regeneration that charges the battery resulting in an improved mileage. 

In highway driving driver maintains a constant speed, rarely decelerates and hence battery is not recharged ..
