Things haven't been happening that fast, especially in the southern hemisphere. It's well understood that after the BMS update (which has been around for at least 6 months) the GoM is down a bit until some new driving history has accumulated. This is all unrelated to the latest news.
Do you run Torque Pro or any other 3rd party app? How did you arrive at the 20% range reduction estimation?Hi, I've just had my BMS updated, in South Aust as part of my 1 year service. I can confirm that it seems to have limited my range by around 20 %. I'm a bit furious.
They didn't mention a thing about that to me, I asked about the nature of the update and they said it was a recall safety issue.
I'm awaiting confirmation that they have now limited the capacity of the battery and then I will have a few quiet words to them about compensation and battery replacement.
Kiwi, the service girl said this update has only just arrived, brand new. Hasn't been around for 6 months here.
The GOM is called a guess o meter for a reason, what you will need to do is see what you actual range is over time. Basically when they update the BMS, it resets the driving history so the GOM has no data to figure it out from.
Well I hope you're correct, shame the BMS cant access the data that is still stored in the car, which still shows the ave Kw per 100km over the life of the car so far.
The easiest way to get the battery as close to zero as possible, then recharge to 100% and measure how much electricity has been added.
What we know as "Service Campaign 960" is dated 1 May 2020. There's been no other updates since.
How can you tell if an update is only partially applied?
The common symptom is that the "aux battery saver +" item no longer appears in the dash menu
565 km? That's like 350+ miles, how do you do that? You guys down under must just drive downhill. The 470 km sounds more realistic, that's 292 miles which coincidentally is exactly what mine charges to at 100%. That will go down substantially when the cold weather gets here, in the meantime anything over Hyundai's advertised 248 miles (400 km) I consider bonus.
Right, makes sense. Out in the sticks here, we use the highway to get most anywhere. Still about half the cost to drive than a fossil car.
If already discussed later in this thread, please ignore this observation:
Earlier in this thread, an extract from Wikipedia lists the fires in chronological order.
Post#20 in the "exploding Kona electric" thread includes a picture of a Kona in Finland that caught fire while charging. There was snow on the ground so it was cooler weather:
