Couldn't help but laugh...I just passed 8300 miles this month. I can't keep up with you guys, because my commute is pretty short. I don't know that I'll escape plain old battery aging, though... ![Shocked :shock:]()

Just a report but I think I'm starting to feel the battery degradation a little. Getting 5.2 m/kWh even after wife drove it for 10 days but range just feels shorter and the "80%" charge is regularly only getting 9 of 12 bars. I'm just over 15k miles.
This is NOT a complaint. This is just fyi for y'all. I'm expecting to loose a capacity bar any day between now and Oct. I might be pessimistic on this since the wife always says I have a negative view of life. The battery gauge bluetooth thing is on the to do list so I'll have more accurate measuring eventually. I expect Kathy will be still on 12 bars even into summer '14 given the distances she drives but Mark should be catching and soon surpassing me in gross miles shortly.
I tried the same 100 mile task I tried back at the beginning of May. Didn't even get close before I had to succumb to the EVSE. This might just be relearning after the GOM software update but I think it's likely actual range loss. This doesn't affect 90% of my driving though.
