If you "sneak", you can also achieve such values. 50mpg.

Did I get that right?

As of right now, there are a lot of estimates. The current state of charge is actual data pulled from the car. You give them your VIN so they can connect. I use it for a history if I ever resell the car. I wouldn’t buy a car that was regularly fast charged to 100%. I think of it like Car Fax for EVs. Actual battery degradation would be a great feature to add. They are a Seattle startup, so who knows what they will be able to add in the future. They don’t have every manufacturer set up, either.

I'm not sure if it's due to the weather getting warmer or because I'm driving in B mode now instead of D mode (or maybe both), but I'm getting better mileage now. I've noticed that my round trips are up to 3.6 mi/kWh or more (up from 3.4 in April).

I've finally gotten used to B mode and have started using it. Took a little getting used to, but now that I'm used to it, I really like it. It just feels natural now, like the way a car should respond to the accelerator.

Went to get groceries. Switched to efficient mode when I remembered.

Today, I took one of my usual trips to the tennis courts and decided to do the whole way in B mode AND using the Efficient mode with Maximum Range turned on. Today was perfect weather where I didn't need the cabin climate control.

I got 4.0 mi/kWh for the round trip. I have my Live Car view set to show the stats since the last charge and that's what it showed (basically I plug in at home each day, and that was my only trip today). It's really interesting to see the individual legs of the trip. Going uphill really takes a hit on efficiency and unfortunately, going down hill doesn't recoup the same amount that you lose when going uphill. Below are the individual legs. At the end, they combined to be 4.0 mi/kWh.
