355 miles of range

At nearly 5.5k miles in just over 2 months, I charged to 100% last night. As I started out I was quite surprised to see the range estimate at 355 miles. I think that's the highest I've seen it yet. Wind AWD with tech package.

You my friend are a very restrained driver. We're averaging 3.6mi/kWh. The EV6 is outperforming its published range estimates every day.

So far our best was 328 on the GOM.

Probably won't ever do better...too many high speed toll roads in our area.

switch it to econo mode and the mileage estimate will be even higher.
We drive our FE like a regular car with normal mode and the AC blowing and cooling seats. In a mix of 5-20 mile trips, city and highway streets we get 3.0 to 3.1 miles/kW

What is your overall average mi/kWH? - if you scroll through the three screens on that display pictured you will find your cumulative totals…

Wow. And I thought my AWD EV6 was doing great at 326 miles..
The trouble with it displaying 300 plus miles at a 100% charge cycle is that it falls to 274 miles with in 10 miles of driving.. in my case at least on my GTL AWD. I have charged to 100% twice and both times it finished at 325 miles, but, as soon as I start to drive it resets within 10 miles to 274 miles.

On my test loop it did not readjust as yours does.

So you can see above it continued with the higher range 'estimate' which is also based on the overall average of all miles put on the car.

Maybe reset the accumulated info consumption average? See if that improves the accuracy.

I got about 320 miles and it showed 335 miles.
Just completed my 3rd charge to 100% since I have owned the GTL AWD. This time it landed on 252 miles on the app, and in the car it is on 244 miles @ 100%. I have not drove it yet to see what it does in that respect to the 100% charge. Maybe even tomorrow morning after it sits and the active balancer does some work on the battery it might change again before I drive it.

Then something else interesting, the ChargePoint app indicates it charge in 257 miles of range. If you add that to the 32 miles that were left at 13% when I started the charge cycle, that is 289 miles calculated by the CP app.
I find the range depends on my efficiency. On consistent routes, with little variation in efficiency, the sum of miles + miles-remaining is pretty stable. I have several trips where the sum, after a 100% charge remained, close to 300 miles for 200-250 miles. Put me on the highway, climbing a hill or with an 80% charge and the range drops to 240 miles. As it should, I think.
I hope to be doing that sort of consumption when it gets warm.
