oilerlord,


Nice post and good directional data to confirm our prior observations.  Yes, the guidance is to prewarm the cabin and battery while plugged in at garage prior to run out on cold days.  Limit use of cabin heater and to wear coat in car.  All to maximize range.


For me, mine is worse as I only average 12 mph in stop and go urban driving and I park outdoors at home with no way to prewarm car and battery while plugged in.  To my recollection, my range was as low as 30 miles when I used the cabin heater and warmed up the car before the kids jumped into car.  This winter, at least I can plug in outside at work and top off my battery at 1.0kwh.  I will have to fully recharge my car during the week overnight at a commercial charging station.
