It's like you have a different car than I do. My GOM now shows me about 66 miles fully charged. However, when I drive it I'm probably getting closer to the actual 83-mile range worth. I don't have the OBD2 Bluetooth adapter so I can't use Torque Pro to see how much battery capacity I have left at ~20,000 miles. 14 kWh seems suspiciously low to me.
I learned very quickly I couldn't trust the ol GOM. My commute involves driving entirely downhill, and returning all uphill - and that's not including the searing heat and (occasional) cold. The GOM varied too widely to be trusted, which is why I ended up getting Torque Pro, OBD2 port and cheap Android phone. It's been much more accurate.

Maybe I should get one. Is there a specific dongle for the Spark EV, or maybe one you recommend?
 
Another app - Car Scanner ELM OBD2 - works on iOS and Android. No need to install external PIDs, simply select Chevrolet Bolt (yes, Spark EV works with Bolt profile). You can also import custom PIDs to Car Scanner, if needed.

iOS requires Elm327 Bluetooth 4.0 or Wifi adapter.
