I did a small experiment. For some time my SoC has been losing about 1% per day. I started to suspect the 12V auxiliary battery. OK, I didn't plan on using the car for three days, so I connected the smart AGM battery charger and left it on for about six hours until it reached 100% (it started at...

Renault may be very efficient, but I still have a doubt. The SoC that cars usually display is calculated using an algorithm (just like the range indicator), and each manufacturer/engineer does it differently. The only known way to determine the capacity of an EV battery is by charging "x" kWh...

Yes, that can work. Activating the car's turn signals/horn also works. But be careful, this will wake the car from "sleep" mode and it will consume a little more energy. Anyway, I don't want to make a big deal out of this. 1% = 1 kWh can mean €0 if you charge with solar panels, or €0.06 x 30 =...

Yes, sorry for the typo (SoC) I don't want to start a debate. If someone thinks an EV doesn't lose energy over two weeks, good for them. That's not the case with my car, and I don't think it's the case with most others either. There's a lot of information out there about other EVs, but for...

Yes, that's right. The information usually updates when you unlock the doors. Although sometimes it doesn't. The most reliable way to check the SoC is to sit in the car and start it.

Sorry @Petzi, but you shouldn't look here. You should look here. Anyway, forget the app. To check the SoC status, you have to unlock the car, sit down, and start it. One thing's for sure: the car consumes energy while stationary (all cars do it, even ICE cars). How much energy? I don't...

As I said: (The app is useless for verifying this data because it doesn't update the information until the doors are unlocked. You have to open the car and check the SoC.) I'm not saying that a 1% daily loss is normal, at least not without supporting data. But I can say that a 0% loss is not...

I think there's a lot of misinformation about how our cars' batteries are managed. Neither Porsche (nor any other brand) provides details on how the battery is managed and the power consumption of its various components. It's truly outrageous that this information isn't provided to the rightful...

October? I'm not sure, but I suspect the drop in temperatures might cause that 1% daily loss. At least I've noticed it in mine. During the summer it was 0%, these days it's 1%. Of course, the app isn't for checking the SoC; that data doesn't update until you unlock the car.

Personally, I prefer this option. It's barely visible. I installed it on both front seatbelts. The standard clip solves the problem temporarily, but it eventually shifts and hits the B-pillar again when you're alone.

@dgkhn Nothing further, your honor. Finally, a much-needed thread of satisfied drivers. Before receiving the car, I too suffered from "worry syndrome" when reading the forum. I thought about how many problems I would face when it arrived. I've driven over 10,000 km and to date, zero problems...

You're right if you're talking about software in general, but we're talking about vehicle safety control systems. This is regulated by law, and statistical or nondeterministic control systems are not permitted. You surely know that all critical systems are governed by RTOS, meaning deterministic...

Software is absolutely deterministic; the same inputs produce the same outputs. I agree that, after iterating for a certain amount of time, there are different system states that can cause errors or unexpected results. However, a complete reboot (for example, disconnecting the 12V battery for a...

I completely agree. If these were software glitches, we'd all suffer the same problems, given that we share the same code. In my particular case, 10,000 km and 0 errors (except for one time when a warning appeared about assistance functions being restricted due to a dirty sensor). It's highly...

Yes, we agree. That's why I said I wouldn't drive again for maximum efficiency; it's not worth it, and it's very boring.
