25' Air Pure
I confess, I had started to believe that 5+ miles a kWh was just marketing puffery, but it turns out it just had to warm up outside. No, I don’t see this often, but in case you are wondering, yes, a 2025 Air Pure really can hit its EPA rating now and then!

Not saying the OP's numbers are not accurate or great, but I get numbers like that all the time since I live at a few hundred feet of elevation, and if I drive "down" to the flats and drive around I see numbers like this all the time, even the famous 6.21 number for long periods (and drops lower rapidly when going up back uphill). My lifetime average is in the low 3's (driving style), but can get 4+ on trips that have a lot of freeway and not exceeding low 70's.

That totally makes sense. This was a drive "in traffic" with a bit of 50's - 60's but no descent or ascent to speak of. Temps were probably about ideal (70s). But it was still fun to see. My long-distance freeway (low 70's) average is around 4.2. Shorter trips around town cumulatively get me about 3.5.
 
My 23 AT had a trip of its lifetime. This morning it achieved 4.74 m/Kwh on a 35 miles drive
