One possibility is that the mileage varies with temperature . I typically show 60 miles in summer and 40 in winter ( northern VA).
Also I think it projects mileage based on recent usage. So the trips to and from mailbox may be poor mileage trips. Does it show 40 miles after several more chargings? -Steve > On Feb 3, 2021, at 2:55 PM, Bill Dennis via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > > She leaves the car plugged in all the time, even after it's fully charged. > She uses 110V charging. > > Bill > > -----Original Message----- > From: EV [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peri Hartman via EV > Sent: Wednesday, February 3, 2021 12:32 PM > To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List > Cc: Peri Hartman > Subject: Re: [EVDL] Pandemic Cell Fade > > What does the Volt charger do at full charge and the cable stays plugged > in ?
