Ok I live in new mexico. 24miles up mountain from Albuquerque. so its 1600ft downhill to get to the city and 1600ft uphill to get back home.
anyway I drove a short distance 24.2miles IIRC to a walmart lot to pick up some water tanks (they weigh nothing 35gallons you can pick up one with one hand)
IIRC I had 72% left on the battery maybe 68% by the time I hit the "climb"
I got lucky and I mean INSANELY lucky. I was totally not paying attemtpion to charge since it only takes 40% to climb the mountain to get back home so I was not paying attention at all to it.
The only reason I knew I was in trouble soon enough to do something about it was I was using the cars built in navigation (I don't use it often) and it suddenly said "destination may be out of range" part way up the mountain. I was like WTF looked down and the car is damned near dead !!! I killed everything put the 4 ways on and dropped down to 50mph VERY SKETCH !!! speed limit here is 65 and later 75mph but it was that or just pull over and wait for AAA because no way in hell would I make it at my current rate of consumption and it was dropping fast
I thought maybe I accidentally turned the heater on nope. everything was off.
I did make it. less than 4% left when I got home
I plugged the car into the trickle charger (project is in the way of the 240v charger for a few days) and in 2 hours the charge "jumped" to 56% if you understand what I Just said you know that's not possible. 13amps at 110v can't get you from 4% to 56% in 2 hours. physically impossible
I let it charge it seemed to charge normally otherwise.
What gives? bad cell? BMS cut a bag cell out on the climb (it is a roughly climb over 1600ft at 65mph) Fluke?
Sunday or monday I am going to repeat the trip and see what happens but pay more attention to it this time.
Ideas? Thoughts?
2017 30kwh SV+ 45,000 already lost 2 capacity bars (at 35,000 miles I lost the second one!!!)
