I usually max out at 525-550 mile range actual even if sometimes the remaining range plus miles traveled equals about 600. Does this ever happen on the i5 or other EV’s even if total range is lower?

Yes, it definitely adjusts to assumptions around terrain, driving style, speed etc.
I tend to favor looking at my average miles/kWh number (basically the equivalent to mpg) and multiply by the usable battery capacity (81.2 kWh) to get range. I have been averaging out 3.4mi/kWh for the last few months which gives me 276miles, even though my car claims 300miles or more when I charge to 70-80% (by extrapolation).
