Battery 2022 EV6

[Lee63]

I live in Illinois and bought a 2022 EV6 and all year the car has been charging indoors to 310 miles as stated. The last 5 charges nothing has changed with charging and the car only get no more the 250 miles to a 100% Charge. Why would this be if all the cells on the battery are working as the dealer tells me. Please help

Perhaps someone on the InsideEVs' EV6 forum might have more info, but on many forums here, people have learned to disregard the GOM (Guess-O-Meter) that cars use to hopefully prevent drivers from running out of juice before seeking out a charging station. The battery's percentage of charge provides better information for drivers after they get used to their EVs.

My MINI Cooper SE's GOM takes ambient temperature into account and lowers its guessed range accordingly. Does your GOM reduce its range estimate immediately when you turn on the heater? Mine does.

It's very possible that you could drive much further than the 250 miles your EV6's GOM is guessing. It can't know if you'll be driving at 30 or 75 mph or if there's a mountain on your route. The last thing GOM programmers want is for you to believe you have 310 miles of range when the few conditions their GOM program can detect suggest your range will likely be less than when optimum conditions prevail.

But it is when your charging the car in colder weather the battery charges 60 miles less and says 100% So only charges to 250 miles not 310 miles.

It's very likely the colder weather reducing range, though if your driving patterns have changed, that would affect your range readings, since it's predicting future range based on your recent driving.
