I currently have a 2016 with 57K miles on the ODO. I only have 5 of 8 charge indicator lights and a claimed max EV range of 12 miles.
The car is quickly becoming unsellable. It's been great until early last year when the decline started. I got the battery case recall done and it's going downhill fast.
I don't like hearing that Audi is mostly turning their back on this issue.

My 2017, 110000km car seemed fine last summer, with a real 32 km EV range. But with the cold season, I noticed the capacity declined to a max charging session on 7/8 bars and 5.5kWh only. In the same mild winter conditions, 2 years ago, I used to get a real range of 22-23 km (heat, lights). Now, it does'nt do better than 16-17 km.

Any idea if fast charging (240V) decreases capacity more than slow charging (120V)? Could there be an issue with the charger itself?
