Curious numbers for electric efficiency

Curious numbers for electric efficiency

I’ve got a 2024 T8. The Volvo app claims that the electric efficiency, I believe over the lifetime of the car, is about 24 kWh/100 miles. This would put it in the same range as super efficient cars like the Lucid Air

I have a hard time believing this, since the electric range is about 35 miles and the usable battery capacities is about 15 kWh, which leads about 44 kWh/100 miles, a more reasonable number for a car like this.

Can anyone explain what’s going on here?
