    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one as we are so similiar. Let me know what 3rd party you choose and if you like it. I do think that this loss is excessive. I was expecting something around the 5% level. Thanks again, Vin

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I live in Southern Ontario. During the Winter, range loss is about 30%, so I go to 90% to give me extra range. During the Summer 80% is plenty. What kind of loss are you seeing? Vin

    I also had the bad smell issue. I cleaned the evaporator with 2 cans of a foaming cleaner and changed the filters. Have not had the issue yet. I am super conscious now of turning off the re circ when not needed. I think the re circ is on too much and that is the source of the smell. I would...

    I did this as soon as I read it. Makes sense to me. Ever since, no smell. I am going to replace my filters and give the evaporator a cleaning if I can ever find the stuff as well as leave the cabin overheat setting to outside air only. Thanks for the thread and help. Sincerely, Vin
