I topped off at work yesterday - Estimated range is now 305 miles and efficiency 5.05 mi/kWh (keeps toggling between 5.0 and 5.1). That calculates to 60.4 kWh of usable battery capacity (66.4 total capacity).
It looks like the car has finished learning the new battery capacity.

kWh - 311 kWh (calculated from 4.5 m/kwh)
kWh - 219 kWh (from my Wallbox charger)
That means I'm charging at work about 1/3 rd of the time
$29.51 - Cost of home charging
$/mile - 0.02
Gas prices? I hear they have gone up.
Also - my Wallbox charger has been showing a fault at the end of each charge. To clear it I have to flip the breaker to restart the charger. I called Wallbox about this (2nd time) and they are sending me a new charger.

That's awesome cheap, in the UK 311kw from your wall is $204 including sc/plug in charges and transfer losses
You can get night rate in places but not where I live. I would want at least 12mkwh |

Only 219 kWh came from my wall. The other 92 kWh came from the free chargers at my employeer.
I pay $0.135 per kWh at home
What are sc/plug charges? |

I decided to swap the horrible stock Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires for a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4. The stock tires ride poorly, have poor traction (B) and were at the wear bars after 43K miles.
The Pilot Sports are Ultra High Performance All-seasons with a traction rating of AA. I'm a bit surprised that they have a 45,000 mile tread-wear warranty which is about as long as a quality set of all-season tires should last. We will see the effect on efficiency - I expect about a 5 - 10% drop which is well worth the extra traction and safety. It didn't hurt that they were the cheapest tires in that size at Costco (with the help of a $150 Michelin discount). I paid $690 for the set installed which is the most I've ever paid for a set of tires. A function of current high prices and the oversized 17 wheels on the Bolt. (There is no reason the Bolt shouldn't have 15 inch wheels like my old Prius or Jetta Wagon but oversize wheels are the fashion today.) I run 15 inch winter wheels / tires.
As to efficiency - I'm behind on my monthly reports
June:
1117 miles / 4.8 m/kWh = 233 kWh consumed
192 kWh from home charger
Cost = $28.81
July:
780 miles / 4.7 m/kWh = 166 kWh consumed
170 kWh from home charger
Cost = $25.53
August:
1209 miles - 4.7 m/kWh = 257 kWh consumed
184 kWh from home charger
Cost = $27.60

Could be worse. The 20" tires on my i3 before installation are topping over $1000 now for a set. (Bridgestone has a monopoly on that production size.)

We just placed a reservation for a 2023 Bolt, arrival expected in November.
I think Bolts are the best value in the new car market, by far.

Yes, the 2023 Bolt is very tempting. If I had more money and wasn't as worried about range anxiety I'd try to get one.
