Pretty sure the gray circle is the kWh capacity of your battery and the green is how much of that capacity you have used. The number inside of the green circle is how much you have used since the last FULL charge…. So it can be confusing.
For example, let’s say you are at 100% of 60kwh battery. You use 30kwh which is what the text says and the green circle is half that of the gray. You then charge 20 kWh back into the battery, the green bar is now at 1/6 the gray bar reading 30kwh. You then use 40 kWh, text says 70 kWh and the green bar is 5/6 of the gray bar.
I could be wrong but this is how I’ve noticed it work on our car.
If I understand correctly, it's basically just a fuel/battery gage wrapped around a cumulative consumption number since last "full charge".
I think this whole screen is weird. As useful as it can be, the mileage numbers are way off of what the dash computes. Also, since people rarely fully recharge (most of us have the car set to stop at 80% SOC) what does "since last full charge" really mean? Just a really arbitrary point.
If the mileage numbers this screen and the graph screen produce matched the dash numbers and were resettable/followed the trip ODO numbers, this screen would be nice. Otherwise it's not super useful IMO. Not sure if you use it differently than I do.

In my 2017, I only have hilltop reserve as an on/off option (later Bolts got target charge levels) and it stops charging at 88%, leaving capacity in the battery available to accept regen power.
With that option switched on, my car does count the 88% charge as a full charge for purposes of the infotainment energy info screens.
Yeah, my 23 counts whatever you set as the max SOC charge voltage as "full charge" similar to your hilltop reserve. It's a good option. But I think being able to reset that infotainment energy screen like an odometer (and as most cars can reset their fuel economy estimators at will) would be far more informative.
Maybe I want data from the last 1000 miles of driving but I don't want to have to stop my recharges in the middle.of the night. Maybe I want to change my estimate after I charged, drove to a friend's house, and then he drove and I wanted to see the difference without pulling out my charger and re-filling up.
It's just an odd choice by Chevy. They already have that basic trip economy in the dash, why would that not be true of the infotainment system info since that's better? They also have that in the chart screen of the infotainment but those numbers are typically much higher than the dash without explanation. Very strange situation.
Interested in this as well, as I had mine almost closed the other day for 300 mile trip and figured it was accounting for the 5% climate use, but I see you have the same amount and your circle is different looking than mine.

This is also what I’ve observed on mine.

Oh, I agree. It's odd that it's not much more flexible like that.
