What is see isn't what you get. The car's computer approximates distances based on a prior drive. Resetting the electrics defaults it to a higher range than we see in the real world.

Coasting down the mountain adjacent my house I've had the car tell me I had 29 mile range in electric only. In the real world it was closer to 16-17 miles. These days my car usually says 18 mile range in electric only and I can barely eek out 16 (but I have a lot of hills).

Agreed. This was my thought also earlier, but after 3 days of this and my usual routes and I thought I was getting further than before... but today the range was back and I got as far as before, so my optimism was now crushed again, what I still dont get is why the longer range when charging in a type 2 charger.

I really think it's coincidence. I recharge regularly under two types of conditions: in my own garage with the mobile charger that came with the car, and at work with a highly adaptable mobile charger that can handle up to 400 V, 32 Amps.

E ranges are all over the place. I can only guess that previous driving and temperature of the battery cause these differences. I have not noticed any range benefit from the more powerful charger.
