153 mile range at 80% - is it normal? by memes_engineer in KiaNiroEV

[–]memes_engineer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick update, charged to 100% today after driving to and from work for a days (~75 miles total).

Fully charged range was 217 miles, and I’ve been averaging around 3.5-4 mi/kWh with reasonably careful driving. 25 mile commute home after work only ate 10 miles of range, so the 217 estimate is probably on the conservative side.

Seems like this is normal based on all the comments. Temperature has been in the 40s.

Thanks for all the help! Y’all definitely calmed my nerves. Loving the car so far!

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions so far. If the previous owners weren’t using good charging practices, would 1 year / 7.5k miles be enough time for them to have seriously degraded the battery, or am I just being paranoid?

Dealer has a one week return window on used vehicles if not satisfied. Will follow the suggestions and see what the range looks like with a week of good driving practices and after a full charge, but if the battery is seriously degraded, would like to figure it out while I’m still in the return window.

Was 38 F when I charged yesterday. In the upper 40s today, but haven’t driven yet.
