welcome to the forum good sir!
yeah, well only kinda. firstly you dont have all the crapware that sprint thinks you NEED to have on your phone that autostarts itself, so theres a battery saver, but not too much. additionally, warm 2.2 is a bit trimmed up from the stock ui, but again not too much. the place youll find the best battery performance increases is in setcpu, the right kernel/rom combo for your specific phone(and yes even 2 evos from the same build group will react differently to the same combo even with identical useage) and governors. Im running an aosp rom with a pretty darn tweaked kernel combo, no setcpu and the smartass governor. depending on usage i get a minimum if 18 hrs outta it, but thats not being a wifi hotspot and i dont have 4g where i live, so yeah. i do run wifi when im at home and at certain bars, but if i dont use data at all, itll go a day and a half now with all the trial and error ive done.
if youre gonna try a new kernel, bear in mind that they do need to settle in b4 you can judge its performance vs another kernel. the rule of thumb is to give it a solid couple days b4 making the gold or garbage determination.
i dont suggest warm to people, theres nothing wrong with warm 2.2, its just not as optimized as some of the new stuff thats come out in recent weeks.

Youdoofus hit the nail on the head. But, if that isn't enough (kernel / governor) you can disable data when your not using it (you'll still get txt and phone) and you can turn off auto sync. Changing things like screen brightness are always good to. (I like using the Mobile Data widget built into the notif. bar)
I just re-flashed myn's 2.2 and it using the stock kernel, so I'm going to flash on one of the kernels I have floating around, which should help that.

I believe this thread would be more appropriate in the EVO 4G - All Things Root - Android Forums subforum.
