Even with hilltop reserved enabled I'm seeing close to 300mi range occasionally.

That works out to 5.5mi/kWh!

I've said it for years... EV's love warm weather.....

I am getting about 311 as projected range when I charge hill top reserve. Usually I am around 180 miles drive with 120+ left before I recharge. As a general rule I usually don't let the battery get below 30 percent capacity and I charge at least once a week. There were a few instances were I did a full charge and I was getting 342 projected. Now to be fair I am doing nothing but city driving some hills but don't exceed 45 mph usually. I also always travel in L and never use AC and drive like an old lady. In fact A Nissan Leaf beeped at me for going to slow-hahaha! It's a challAnge to try and average 300 per charge. My average on the odometer is 5.7kwh with about 2800 miles.

5.7 Wow that's incredible. I vary between 4.0 - 4.4 mi/kWh. But I do drive up to 55mph with a few miles of 45mph and 35mph on a 20 mile round trip to work everyday. There are exactly 6 stop lights where I can use L regen.

It is very exciting to see just how far the Bolt can go! I received my Bolt at the end of March and my top range so far is 282 miles with 22 miles of range left and 8% battery charge remaining.
Yeah. You were getting 5.1 mi/kWh. I don't get excited by high mi/kwh readings. That just comes from driving slow, and easy.

What I would be ecstatic about is the fact that you appear to have 59.5 kWh of usable battery capacity. Congratulations! You are one of the Bolt crap shoot winners.
