    I try to do all the range stuff like accelerating gently, anticipating lights, braking gently. My normal commute does have lots of stop lights and a few stop signs though. I try to keep the guage no more than half way and try to glide when possible

    I've got the same problem. Decay until about 14.3km (22km max rated) when the car wouldn't start. Towed to dealer and replaced 12V battery. Since them problem has continued. I loose exactly 0.2km of EV available after full charge. Taking back to dealership - I don't think the original 12V battery was the problem .. 2 in 1 month. I tried the 12V charge by car by leaving it on in park for 6 hrs for this new battery. Bat remains at 12.65V before and after charge, but EV reduced from 18.5 to 13.5 with all lights on. Something was pulling power!

    After my 12v battery was replaced 3 weeks ago, all is normal on my car. Went from 13.1 EV miles up to 13.8 (warm weather in CA) over a few days/charges, then back down to 12.5 (a bit colder and several not-normal-for-me freeway drives).
    Just before all this started for me I was at 11.1 ~ 11.5 miles and after one charge it went down to 6.6 miles
