If you do all of the above you should see somewhere from 17-20 miles before the low SOC will kick the engine on.
Curious have you had other electric cars?

Fully agree. Range maximization takes carful and anticipative driving (e.g. coast towards and intersection rather than staying on the gas and then breaking).
Your car will only show more range once you've actually successfully driven that longer range.
