I purchased a used 2019 BMW 530e in 2022, initially I had a 21 mile charge, recently it dropped to 17 miles, and now it charges only to 14 miles. Is deterioration of battery charging range normal?
Plus of course, they are virtually always charged to 100%. My 2016 PHEV is now down to 70% SOH but still gives me about 16 miles on battery. As the car always keeps a 30% buffer before starting the engine, that is effectively 40% instead of 70% when new.Let's not forget it's a PHEV. By their very nature (and assuming they are used correctly, i.e. always charge the battery when you can and drive as many km in EV mode only), they will be more prone to degradation than an EV
