Can someone explain what is being shown here pls? Is it either:
1) 73 miles from the 5kWh just put in (way too much?) or;
2) 73 miles in total from the recharged battery (too small?).

The 73 miles is the expected range. It is calculated on the battery level of charge and the drivers previous recent driving habits. So, since the battery looks like it is nearly fully charged, the last driver was driving really hard.
Really?!?
And the maximum amount of mileage the car will go is 73 miles? This is much lower than any worst-case-senario ever published.
what I was hoping was that it was not possible to get it that low under any circumstances.
Do the math.
53kWH of available energy at max power output gives you less than 20 minutes of running time. At max speed of 120mph that means 40 miles of range. If you are only doing 60mph, you've driven 20 miles. 76 miles is plenty in comparison
Have I misunderstood? That means 160.6 miles from the 53kWh battery.
The EPA sticker in F16 shows 33kWh/100 miles on the highway and 32 around town.

The pack size is 52.8kWh. Given the 227.85 miles combined range and .321kWh/mi figure, it takes 73.1kWh from the plug to fill up. Charging/battery efficiency is then 72.2%. I would assume that is using the 3.5 hour charge, which requires battery cooling to work: thus the low efficiency.
...Then how does this play versus electricity rates that I believe are lower in the middle of the night, but perhaps higher during other portions of my typical 12 hour window?
In other words, how do I figure out the best way to charge my Roadster if I want to find the least costly/most efficient method?
The charger should include a degree of intelligence, so that if there is a power outage in the night and there is still time to charge the car when it was restored, it varies the current so that you have a full battery in time for the commute.
