What does the Volt charger do at full charge and the cable stays plugged
in ? Does it periodically recharge as parasitic uses discharge the
battery ? What is her charging pattern and what was it before the
pandemic ? It could be that, after one year, constant recharging to 100%
damaged the cells. What Just pure speculation.

One of the Battery cells going bad, maybe.

Pre-pandemic, when my mother-in-law charged her 2017 Chevy Volt, it would
have about 60 miles electric range. Throughout the pandemic, she's done
nothing with the car except drive it to the top of the driveway and back to
check the mail. When we were finally able to get to Georgia to visit her
this week after fifteen months, I notice that a full charge shows only 40
miles range now. Anyone ever notice anything similar, or have any guess
why?
Thanks,
Bill
