I thought for Tesla it's 92% for a standard charge. The Volt is extremely conservative in this regard (Chevy was first out the gate).
- Animats 12y agoAs Lutz says in his book "Car guys vs. bean counters", that was done to make the Leaf battery last longer. The car industry knows that 80% of trips are under 40 miles, so most of the time, that's enough range. Longer, and they cut in the gasoline engine, so there's no reason to stress the battery life.
- SeanLuke 12y ago??? This was an entirely confused comment. (1) we are talking about SOC, not capacity, and (2) why are you talking about the Leaf?
