I am now 14 months and 13K miles in. I only charge to 80% and live in So. Ca.; where the weather doesn’t vary much and rarely gets above 90 deg. I drive conservatively. But over the past few months I have begun to see the following:
- My battery strength indicator is still at the maximum # of bars.
- When I start the car in the morning, the remaining range indicates less than
it used to be. Was 75~80 miles, now 65~70.
- When I leave in the morning, the SOC # of bars is either one less than in the
past or if the same as in the past, quickly drops one bar soon after leaving home.
Any idea what could cause this? Seems like "80%" has become something less.
