EV Mileage on Clarity 120V versus 240V

I think you will find the the algorithm constantly adjusts the EV range shown in the center display to reach 0 when the battery depletes down to 2 bars (the limit of the usable charge).
At least that’s what mine does.

And one more time, the graph on the left of the center display is NOT a battery gauge and it’s display of estimated range does not tell you how much charge is in the battery. Only the number of bars on the battery gauge on the DDI or battery icon in the center display (or Honda Link) will tell you that.

I now get it, but I don't have to like it:)

If it wasn't clear in some of my other posts, I don't like it either LOL. It's a nice way to guesstimate my miles but I now always view it knowing it won't be accurate if yesterday is/was just slightly off than today.

One last note, when I get home from work (35 miles,) I often have 15 or miles left on the estimate.

When arriving at work, I come close to having 0.

Now, I see it's not a charging difference; it's the elevation climb going to work and the downhill glide returning home.

My car keeps updating the estimate based on the last trip . It's always overestimating/underestimating based on the last trip. Going back and forth to work, it will always be way off.

No big deal; but thanks to everyone for explaining this behavior. I finally completely understand what's going on.

And once again, a gigantic thanks for saving me a dealer trip!!!!

Happy to help. I had known about the difference in elevation since it was always cooler at my house than it was at my work, and since that was really the only variable in my drives, I presumed it to be the cause. Glad to see it has been corroborated.
 
What would be cool is if you could type in your destination and it would calculate your % of battery used based on the elevation delta, temp, traffic, etc of that trip, as well as your driving style.

I drive the exact same path everyday going to and returning from work, as do most.

It could let you know exactly how much time charging needed.

Maybe one day, Evs will accept aps that the public can create & sell.
