    Got in the car this morning; it got a full EV charge yesterday, and the EV range indicated was 63 kms. Previous record last year was 61 kms.
    I don't think it's due to the battery getting better, it probably has more to do with the way the computer calibrates the estimated EV range.

    Last summer it got a lot warmer, and the highest EV range was 61 kms.
    It's only early May, and it hasn't even hit 20C yet. This morning it was 63 kms.

    yeah, mine goes down in summer. spring and fall with no hvac have always been best, and i think the battery is happier

    This morning it was 5C, and the display briefly showed 64 kms EV range.

    I think it's probably something like that.
