After the crazy storms we had on July 3rd and 4th here in NJ, I am getting it to 100% just as the thunder starts to hit! Tornadoes in the forecast! Everybody be safe!

I'm impressed by your range estimate. We apparently have 2 very different driving styles / environment's. ( I'm assuming past driving habits factor into future estimates ) any time I charge to 100% , the highest range I've ever gotten was 320.

He and I probably have similar driving behavior. At 100% the other day mine showed 360 miles. Of course, I don't believe it. A trip meter I reset in early April shows I'm averaging 2.5m/kwh. But that included a few highway trips. Take those out and around town I'm getting closer to 2.7 which accounts for it. I suspect the GOM uses more recent driving history 30 days maybe? This pic after charging last night to 85%. the 296 shown comes from 130kw X .85 X 2.7 /

Note that at the end of December (cold weather) my range at 85% showed only 257 mile range

I don't usually charge to 100%. I'm also a teacher who's not working through the summer, but a volunteer firefighter who's been driving extremely short distances for that "job". My average MPKWH going to a call is about 2.7, but coming home it's about 6.0! Mostly uphill VS mostly down hill. I reset my trip odometer whenever I charge or once a week depending on charging needs. This last one since I charged to 100, I'm trying to get down to below 20% but possibly 10% before charging. There's no bad weather in the forecast so I'm doing a test to see how many miles I can get with 80 to 90% battery depletion. I hate range estimates. For years we have been conditioned to use our gas gauge to know when to fuel up. I like using my battery gauge and like to run it down and charge it up. Except for the winter when I usually plug it in every it every other night just to precondition the battery for the next morning.
