Well. My brand new iPace, a 2019, has a faulty battery. Yikes.
I was giving the benefit of the doubt that maybe my driving was so crazy that it was drastically reducing my range.. but today I've confirmed my battery is not fully functional.
From what I can tell I'm getting between 60 and 68 KWH out of the battery. I don't know if it is a cell issue or the entire battery, but I'm certainly not getting near the 86 or 87 KWH.
I did a trip today, 100% charged and preconditioned while plugged in. Eco mode, climate off most of the way. Average speed was 50 MPH, mostly around 65 and never above 72. Only cruise control or super light throttle. Very conservative driving. 50 degrees and very light rain, minor wind.
My battery went into low mode after 130 miles and showed 7% remaining. The trip calculator shows almost exactly 40 KWH per 100 miles and the Eco data was all 4.9s and 5s and 97/98%. Yet at 130 miles the battery was nearly empty. This matches my overall experience so far, drastic battery drain with even minor city usage.
So yeah, not sure why I traded in my Porsche for this.
I'll take it in on Monday and I'm sure it'll be an easy process getting everything squared away (note the sarcasm).
