Normal
The range displayed is officially called DTE (Distance to Empty) , but no one calls it that. It is the GOM (Guess-o-Meter).It is an estimate based on your previous driving style, the temperature, how much you use the heat / air con, whether you are going uphill or downhill and so on. It is normally quite conservative and quite consistent. If you turn on the heat the GOM will go down. Turn it off and the GOM goes back up.Mountain driving is a little different and may seem strange the first few times. Going uphill you will lose range fast. Particularly at speed. The GOM will go down much faster than it originally estimated. I drive over a mountain often and can judge how much I need to get to the top from prior experience. It doesn't matter how much the GOM says you have left at the top. Going down the mountain in B mode puts back energy into the battery, The GOM will go back up.Example: I have SOC 50% and GOM 100km at home. I drive up the mountain 20km, At the top SOC is now 20% and GOM 30km. It looks bad because there is still 20km to go, but driving down in B mode I get SOC 30% and GOM 50km when I arrive back home.
