I have noticed since the last update and allowing the car to balance the batteries after it reaches 100% charged, my range has gradually increased by 10 miles each time I charge.
I put the car on charge last night using my Rolec 7kwh Home Charger, and my range has increased yet again from 195 miles on the last charge to 205 miles this time in Economy Mode.
And it is staying at that, doesn’t suddenly drop when driving around town, only if I thrash it on the motorway, drive it in any other setting than Economy (which I do occasionally), or of course use the Aircon throughout my journey rather than open the sunroof, then it is less.

Hi
@AndyNWuk .
I have seen similar mileage reported on my ZS EV only this week.
Full charge and balance reported a predicted range of 208 miles on the GOM when booted up into the default mode of normal and Regen level 3.
I know resetting the trip meters would have reduced this prediction a good way, but I never bothered resetting it to be honest.
I agree, the high predicted mileage is due to the car calculating the last previous trips we have done.
If you check your efficiency it is likely to be reporting a good figure, I would predicted a figure of around 4.2 M/kWh ish ??????.
Our even higher, if you have being driving very carefully.
The warmer weather plays a big factor in the reported ( predicted ) range of course.
Shame we don’t see that sort range all year round, I must admit.
In a way, it is a little like any ICE vehicle.
The fuel consumption is always better in the warmer weather.
When the heater or the A/C is not used on vehicles then the consumption of energy is always a lot lower.
Nobody who drives an ICE even bothers about the effect on there range with using the HVAC because they are sitting on a massive amount of spare capacity in the tank.
EV drivers tend to pay a little more attention to this type of stuff ?.
