Electric Car Oddity - Battery Magic or Glitch?

[DGregory99]

Hey folks, had a peculiar experience with my electric car and thought I'd share. So we hit the road with a full charge, 100% and after cruising for about 16 km, we barely made a dent, only 18% of the battery gone, giving us a whopping 64 km/kWh! But get this - when we hopped back in later, the charge mysteriously shot back up to 71%! Any idea what sorcery this is? And to add to the confusion, our menu button decided to clock out, leaving us stuck on a different timezone. Anyone else faced similar quirks? Just thought I'd throw it out there for discussion!

Don't be surprised if your battery gauge seems a bit dramatic. It takes driving style and weather into account, so it might underestimate your actual range. This is normal, and the difference usually isn't significant

The battery gauge isn't always accurate, especially after you stop and start the car. It might show less range than you actually have. You can check the menu by using the button on the wiper stalk.
