I've had my etron now for 3 weeks and the battery only charges to a 23 mile range (from the original 25 miles 3 weeks ago). Sure, I expect battery capacity will drop with time no different than a laptop, but 8% in 3 weeks?
What is everyone else seeing?
I think you are mistaking battery charge level with 'estimated range'. With every EV and plug-in hybrid in my experience, estimated range is based on a combination of factors including not only charge level but temperature, driving conditions in the previous several drives, settings of the climate control system (off is best, heating is worst), and driving style.
Some people in the EV world call the 'range' figure the GOM - Guess-O-Meter.
