I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I had an sudden drop in range (at 100%) from 282-285 miles to just 242 miles. This is during a holiday in which I used, almost exclusively, public fast chargers.
The only thing I can attribute it to (purely by process of elimination) is that the batteries were once charged from 20% to 100% on a fast (43kw/50kw) charger. I think they don't like going past 80% on fast chargers and I know some cars / chargers will cut off at 80%.
Since returned home, I've been deliberately letting it drop below 80% then charging to 100% overnight on my 7kw charger. The range has been creeping back up to 255, 265 and now 274 miles. I noticed I get no increase in range if I recharge too early (above 80%).
Anyone else seen this?
