Judging by your mileage you have a 2014, which has a larger battery and a taller final drive ratio than the 2015, and as a result gets better range at highway cruising speeds. The 2015 is lighter and, with a shorter final drive ratio, is more efficient around town. IIRR, when Tony Williams tested both on his standardized 62 mph constant speed freeway range test, the 2014 went around 96 miles, and the 2015 89 miles. Both are to empty, which is not something you'd do routinely as most people require a reserve.
