when i charge my car to 100% i get a estimate of about 80 to 82 on the high end when i get in after charging. its been under 40 degrees both times with that estimate. when the weather warms up and i get in after a 100% charge in march/april will those numbers move alot higher than the range it shows now after 100% charge. i read a post here that said he saw almost 100 mile estimate after 100% charge. any chance i will c that.

The GOM looks at a few (?) previous cycles. It may factor in current temp. But as you know it's only a guess. It has no way of knowing how you are going to drive this day.
Put 3 of you fattest friends in the car, blast the heat and head up into the mountains at 75 MPH and you'd be lucky to get half of what the GOM shows.

For 60 full L2 charging sessions between Mar and Oct 2016, my 2014 Spark EV 2LT averaged 105 miles of range with a high of 112 miles. Cold weather since October and generous heater usage have dropped my range average to about 80 miles with a low of 73. 9000 miles are on the ODO. I expect the full-charge range to climb back up to over 100 as the weather warms up and I can stop using the heater. I should also add that almost all of my driving is 55 mph or slower.evboy said:
