It seems like when the car gets below ~60% SOC that it starts slowing down. I read somewhere that below 70% SOC the car slowly looses power. Is this a design limitation or is it a software limitation? Is it something that could be changed in the future?
Just curious because I know it is recommended to keep the battery between 20-80% charge but if you only have a 10% SOC delta where you actually get "full power", that seems a bit strange to me. If it is software limited, it would be nice to unlock the full potential at any SOC with the understanding that it will affect the efficiency. Similar to flooring it in a gas car, it isn't limited even if you're running on fumes, you just go through gas faster.
