Finally got the car - 2013 SV (+ LED/Quick Charger Port+Premium Package) and would like to know some of the best practices from current owners, for enjoying the car with long lasting healthy battery:
I also had some questions:
- Charger cable that comes with the car only supports 120V, what if I have dryer outlet which is 240V. Can I just buy the cable that supports 240V and hook to the "dryer" outlet and charger car at 240V? Or I still need to get EVSE installed?
- My car was charged 95% and showing 78 miles range. I drove to work which is 12 miles, the battery charge is 80% but the range is still 76 miles. Is this correct?
- I have set charging method to "long" so it only charges at 80%
any other ideas/tips will be highly appreciated. Thanks again.
