2017 S: Lifetime average according to dashboard (6 years 5 months old; will be bought back any day now)
5.6 mi/kwh
39,813 miles
Caveats: very little highway. Almost all on original tires (they were replaced just a couple of months ago). Almost no heat (Phoenix metro), mostly flat terrain. Driven very gently.
Got a new Chevy Bolt EUV a couple of weeks ago... too early to tell but doesn't seem to be able to get great mi/kwh, even on trips which I can carefully monitor. hmmm.
I make a routine, same,15mile round trip pretty frequently, something like once or twice a week, which i could easily average 8 (according to leafspy) with careful driving; in the bolt (according to it's dashboard) the best i've seen is low 5.something.
The Bolt has a higher eMPG. ; which sortof makes me wonder about how that works?
e.g. Bolt is 131 vs. Leaf 124 for "city"; what's up with that?
Bolt is ~ 400 pounds heavier (3,700 vs. 3,300) but that should be reflected in eMPG.
The tires on the bolt are (obviously new) so that's going to hurt effiicency to some extent.
