    Following my above post, the only true way to measure mpg in an ICE is to fill brim to brim and divide the miles done by the number of gallons needed to refill. I have concluded the same is true of electric. The on board computer is just an estimate, and Bluelink, at times a nonsense. If i add my miles since recharge and add them to remaining range, I get a figure of around 360 miles, give or take a mile or two. This is the method I will use in future. If my Bluelink post above were accurate, even if I stared with a 100% battery, I would have needed to charge the car twice to cover around 40 miles! Bluelink has its uses, this unfortunately isn´t one of them and I suspect the previous posts where I have indicated 8 miles per kWh, were similarly incorrect. Car itself is fantastic, this is probably a software issue.
