I wanted to share some statistics on my vehicle, which as of this morning has 34,512 miles on it.
My specific vehicle does not have the DC Fast Charging option, which *could* affect the lifespan of batteries, so take that into account.
This morning I checked the usable capacity of my battery in the hidden service menu and it stated I have 19.4 kWh available.
That's a pretty good number in my book, I was expecting less after my research online and the figures I reviewed when looking for directions on how to access the hidden menu.
Now, for my question, I believe the warranty BMW provides on the battery is for 100,000 miles and against more than 30% capacity loss, or 70% capacity at that time. Does this figure go against the 22 kWh of the battery, or against the usable quantity of the battery? If so, what is the initial usable quantity of the battery?
Thanks!
