mi/kWh disparity

Does anyone know what this truly means? My miles per kWh are 3.4 but I’ve driven 720 miles using 99kWh, which would be close to 7.2. Why is the actual lower?

The 99.8 is not the amount of energy you used. It's the amount of energy your car has regenerated back into the battery. That's what the two little arrows pointing towards the battery means.

So that’s what gets me to the 3.4kWh total then. Because in reality I’ve charged 218 kWh and regenerated 99kWh. So my true consumption would be closer to 2.3 miles per kWh if I didn’t have regeneration.

Not sure why you exclude regeneration - that’s part of the efficiency. The 99kWh was free energy!
