Am I losing range? I've been obsessing over my EV's efficiency and I've noticed something weird. The car's computer says I'm getting 3.2 miles per kWh, but my own calculations based on Google Maps and the app data show only 3. That's a difference! Is this normal? Anyone else seeing this kind of gap?

Yep, I’ve noticed similar differences with my EV. The car's estimate often doesn't account for factors like climate control or elevation. When I calculated manually using app data, it was usually a bit lower too, normal but worth tracking over time.
 
Did you base that from your charger?
I think the kWh reading is coming from the Lexus app, not the charger. The app will show how much energy was added, not how much was used during the charging session.

That gap’s totally normal. Your math includes everything, but the car’s system probably only cares about the energy used for driving.
