    On my v during normal city driving the battery level can not seem to go above 6-bars (2-bars below top); there are 8-bars I think.
    Only twice I got 7-bars, once going down the very steep hill and once traveling on a highway.

    Are you folks getting similar charge level?

    Don't worry about the battery charge level. The computer will handle the battery.

    Full does not mean full anyway nor does empty mean empty. Only a certain portion of the actual battery is used to prolong battery life, like it is kept between 40-70% give or take.

    Just drive and enjoy.
