So there's a steep hill coming up.
1. You put it on a low assist (1-2) and get pedalling, but at this assist level, even with pedalling you can't get the bike up to 15mph so the motor is working fully until you reach the peak.
2. You put it on the highest assist, with the same pedalling effort (or slightly less) and the bike reaches 15mph (or whatever you have the limiter set at for illegal bikes)
Which would drain more battery and reduce overall range from one charge?
