Battery capacity test instructions:
- Fully charge the battery to 100%
- Reset a trip meter
- Turn off or use minimal accessories, specifically climate control and heat. Anything that causes the ICE/engine to start will invalidate this test.
- Drive in EV Now mode under 45-50mph. Avoid highway use if at all possible.
- Drive until the plug-in charge is completely drained and drops to EV Auto/Hybrid operation.
- Review the trip meter or safely stop the vehicle and shut it down to view the trip summary. You are looking for the kWh used during the trip.
