What EV range do you guys normally get

I have only had mine about 6 weeks however I don't see how people can drive so conservitvly to get in the (especially high) 40s. Here is a post I made on the ELR Facebook owners page.

[about a week ago] This morning (5:30am) I tried to drive to work about as conservatively as possible. I did have the AC on Auto (72ºF out), had to have the headlights on and stereo playing (probably 0.5Kw to 1kW extra). However I almost always keep acceleration to under 30kW, drove in L (trying to do this all the time now) and did almost all stoping by regen. Drove like a grandma but was easy enough not having too many other drivers on the road that I was hindering (although it's not much FUN). After >11 miles I ended up using 283Wh/mile. [EDIT: this would be about 43 miles]

How is it possible to drive over 50 miles at 233Wh/mile? I even rember seeing a post where someone went 212Wh/mile. Is this mostly downhill with no traffic around? How low are you limiting your acceleration (25kW)? No climate control and Infotainment off?

By the time I got home (still driving conservative but lots of traffic to workaround and not hinder too much) I was back up to over 300Wh/mile.

[Pet Peeve/Rant] I wish the L regen option was a software turn on/off in Settings. It is incenvenent moving the gear lever past the D lock and also causes me to only move into N when gong for R. Also L is SUCH a confusing misnomer since the setting has nothing to do with LOW or gears or transmission or ICE, etc. In fact it should be H for HIGH regen.[/Pet Peeve/Rant]

EDIT: Just to add Cadillac rates the 14 ELR at 37 miles or about 333kWh/mile.

There are far too many variables to provide a simple answer. I have owned 3 Volt's since March 2012 and for my driving conditions I could easily exceed the EPA rating 9 months out of the year. Right now on my 2017 my GOM has been inching up each week and it's reading 75 miles as it sits. But I would never try and pass that off as the norm. I live in southern Illinois, they call us "flat landers". We've had a mild Aug and my Volts while my DD have only been on ONE long distance road trip. All other driving has been performed in a semi urban/rural environment. My r/t for work is 22 miles so any GM Plug In meets my needs.

The Volt/ELR just isn't big enough for road trips, we use our GMC Acadia for that. Road trips can kill your EV range but my driving makes me look like I own a Tesla. Over 96% of my miles have been electric since March 2012.

So I'd stick with the EPA rating of 37 miles knowing it could be higher or lower by as much as 10 miles.

I have a 39 mile commute daily each way. I typically get to work with 3-4 miles of battery range left untapped. Unfortunately I only have access to a 110V outlet at work to recharge, so when I start my commute home I only have 20-25 miles of battery range accumulated, which I manage to squeeze ~ 30 miles of all-electric range out of before the ICE comes on.

I would get battery better range except for 2 factors: 1.) I have to cross a range of coastal hills between my house at the beach and my office 39 miles away (maybe ~ 700' elevation gain to get over these hills, and what you gain coming down the other side is definitely less than what you expend climbing it first). 2.) everyone here in So Cal drives at > 75 mph on the freeway whenever they can, which is my preference too. But when I get slowed in stop & go traffic or even just 50 mph flow in heavy traffic, my range increases SIGNIFICANTLY!!

Fortunately for my happiness, but unfortunately for my ranking on ELR Stats ("Laguna Beach ELR"), between the toll roads and the HOV Carpool lane which I get to use solo in the ELR, I am usually driving at high freeway speeds to shorten my commute time.

42-44 on the guess o meter. I'm at 15k miles and in Fl with AC set to max. The stock potenza tires suck. I'd get much more range if my first 3.5 miles weren't my dirt road driveway. I can usually get 50 or more to a single charge doing a long trip before the ice kicks in. ICE gets about 38-44 on 91/93 with crapahol added depending on temp and how much crap I'm hauling around. It'll get 48-52 or more on rec90 non ethanol gas.

I'm a somewhat aggressive driver, live by the 9 your fine 10 your mine on the highway and watch waze.

I didn't pay much more for mine "new" ( 38k OTD In March 2017 ) still on an MSO. And It still qualifies for the tax credit. Look around see if there are still some leftovers. Mine I found at a tiny caddy dealer in the middle of nowhere when I was visiting my dad when he went into hospice. It wasn't advertised.
