The EPA test cycle isn’t a real world experience for an automotive vehicle. The miles traveled figure, whether evaluating hydrocarbon fuel or battery, is always overstated relative to actual usage. The best that can be said for the testing is that it would allow an apples-to-apples comparison of two similar examples of a technology.

Mine is EPA 15 city 25 Highway. I do better than that unless I put my foot down hard but even under mildly aggressive driving I am close to EPA.
