Battery capacity loss in an #EV : my 2023 #Kia #EV6. I don't have measurements from new, unfortunately, I bought the ODB2 scanner after the first year. However, the manufacturer declares 77.4 kWh total capacity.

After 1 year, 30k km: capacity on full charge reported as 72.5 kWh, but internal BMS charge level shows 96.5% - scaling this, I get 75.2 kWh capacity, a drop of 3%.

After 2 years, 46k km: capacity after full charge reported as 69.4 kWh, internal BMS charge level again on 96.5% - scaled this gives capacity of 71.9 kWh. That's a drop of 7% from new; 4.5% drop from the previous year.

In theory, the battery should now be "settled" and not changing significantly in capacity until it gets much older.

The drop is still small enough that I don't think I would notice it without measuring.

@ieeespectrum Why is #BYD using this abstract range of 13-60% and not a sort of industry standard of 10-80%. To make the numbers comparable? Do they have a cooling problem after the first 5 minutes ?
Also, the now 3 year old #EV6 or facelifted #Taycan can charge this mysterious 13-60 range in about 10minutes. Which makes the BYD merely 2x faster, but both of the mentioned can do it on existing infrastructure.

Is it a bug that if ABRP is linked to Enode for live car status updates and enode goes to “sleep” for an hour ABRP happily drives along thinking your battery is at 78% in perpetuity?

The closest charger was 15 miles away and I had 9, supposedly. Drove 30mph the whole way and made it. 😅

Otherwise, it should be a normal Wednesday for #Today. I don't have the energy or time to go for #walkies, which will upset my dogs. We are picking up a rain barrel today, which we've meant to order from the town for quite a while. I should bring the car to the car wash. I have to reschedule my windshield crack fix. Unfortunately, 6they can't come to the house to do the replacement for my #EV6.

#ABRP 6.0 came out and it finally brings a magical feature: support from #AndroidAuto CarInfo API. All the cars that support it will automatically get live battery data in ABRP, just by running it as the navigation app through Android Auto. It's quite amazing, it's a shame though my #EV6 does not support this :neocat_sad:

So does anyone have an #EV supporting this, can give it a go and share impressions?
