As a user, wouldn't you prefer that you didn't have use lookup tables and to do the math yourself because you could rely on the GOM? That is the difference between the Bolt and the Lightning; the Bolt has a better user experience with GOM. Of course, just like with an ICE, I have to account for...

I was only comparing the Chevy Bolt's GOM accuracy to the Lightning's - nothing else. I still have both cars and love them both. Doing your own math means what exactly? If my trip meter says I'm getting 2.3 mi/kWh and I will be experiencing the same driving conditions for the next 100 miles of...

Never drove it until it stopped - not good for the battery! But it goes into "turtle mode" where it won't go above about 30mph when it gets down to 15 to 25 miles of range. Only did that a couple times... :) Thus, I am pretty nervous about getting my Lightning to a really low SOC. I've read...

Yes, GOM is based on past driving history. By far the biggest factor in the GOM calculation is your actual mi/kWh. I have shown with my tracking that the GOM is consistently an average of 17% below the range calculated based on mi/kWh over 1500 miles of my actual driving. Why cut Ford slack on...

Yes, if 2.2 is the average for that trip it could be 2.151 to 2.249, so why assume the lowest? Over 1500 miles that I tracked it should be very close to the average. For my trip on 7/20/2025 my spreadsheet lists it as 2.2, but on that trip of 276.8 miles it changed from 2.3 to 2.2 about 4 miles...

I have a 2024 Flash with the 131 kWh extended range battery. I have read through all the other posts on range. Many say don't pay attention to the Guess O' Meter (GOM), just the mi/kWh. I disagree with this. I put 100K miles on a 2017 Chevy Bolt and have a 2023 Bolt with 20K miles on it. They...
