I have a 2014 Volt which has much less range (smaller battery pack 16.5 kWh of
which 10.8 is used, 2017 has a 18.4 kWh pack). I have a 21 mile commute to
work and get notifications from Chargepoint about how much energy was used.
Typically in the summer I'll put 6.2 to 7.2 kWh back in. During the winter,
especially on cold days it puts in 10.4 to 11.4 kWh. So my typical range is 42
miles in the summer and 25 miles in the winter. The guessometer also bases the
range on usage and short trips to the mail box will throw it off.

Yes, wait until normal driving returns and it should recover. The mileage
estimate is also due to the short cycling and parasitic loads.
