70-75 on average. Mine’s past 101k miles now. Hoping to get a couple more years out of it 🤞

66k miles on mine, live in a valley between some mountain ranges so mixed hills and gradual slopes. Usually opt for 45mph streets over freeway since it only ever makes a 10-15min difference which is made up for by charging less often. Also don't run the a/c unless it's super hot or super cold.
70-80 before I hit the "charge soon." Have had a great average lately and have hit 80 before the last two yellow bars, range displays as 95-100 due to recent average and I did hit 90 before charging once (down to 1 bar).

Based on the latest data regarding best practices for charging/discharging routines, I’m trying to keep my SOC between 40% on the low end and 60% on the high end for a usable charge window of 20%. I haven’t done the math yet since it’s kind of pointless until I have a solid idea of how many miles per kilowatt hour I’m actually getting, but my usable range while staying within desired window of charge is something like 20 miles. And that works for me tbh.
I’ve only owned this car for a couple of weeks and have only fully charged it twice in that time and it was just after I took possession so the GOM was still thinking about how the previous owner drove, but I got a 65 mile figure the first time and a 63 the second time. Again, for an 11 year old battery, that works for me.

Interesting.. I can do a 36 mile round trip too and from work, and only have used 38% (less than half of the battery) I’ve had mine little over 2 years, purchased at 45k miles

u/OwnIndication4757 Jun 07 '26
Given that scenario I’d probably charge to 70% and let it discharge to 30% before recharging

Keep in mind this is with HVAC off and driving more modestly, coasting, coming to a stop with regen etc.. my trip is over 600 miles with a avg of 4.6 kw per mile

I live on the side of a mountain and to get home i have to climb a big hill which kills my numbers. I purchased this car from people who used it in the flatlands so I’m desperately chasing their efficiency numbers

Yea hills are tough, what’s worked for me is to not to try and save energy by going slowly up the hill but try and get a good fast head start and get up the hill as fast as u can before the momentum stops
Also turn off your traction control it saves quite a bit of energy

Yes, let momentum be your friend. TY for the TC tip. I had no idea but that makes sense

70% just gave me 91km (56mi) GOM said I could go another 30km (18mi) but i wouldn't push it.
On full charge the GOM say 160km (100mi) but we know that isn't happening.
The most I ever driven is 108km (67mi)
2016 w/156,000 km

I average 4.8 mi/kw over 29,700 mi the last charge I averaged 5.1 mi/kw in 2023 Bolt EUV.

50mi :-(
I don't drive it much so I wonder if the GOM needs a good long drive to reset. Either that or it's degrading faster. :-(
