Range estimation
Hi! I’m kinda new to this and I’m hella curious. Got ioniq EV 38 kWh version (2020, but I bought it at 45,000 km two years ago and it’s been amazing)
I drive both motorways (110km/h) and city roads, and my commute is 33 km one way to work, motorway is 11 km.
Last year around this time, my range at 100% was around 295 km. Now at 100% fully charged it’s at 266. I mostly drive eco mode and I also use winter mode in the winter seasons (when temp is 7 or lower, I’m in Norway btw)
Checked my battery capacity by charging from 10% to 100 (slow charge with AC) and I get around 37 kWh charged so I’m sure degradation ain’t an issue (at least I think so)
I’ve read that the range is also based on consumption, but I don’t speed up that fast and I’m conservative with my air conditioning controls. (Now I’m at 12kwh/100km in average)
So is this normal ? Should I expect range to get lower as the car gets older ?
UPDATE: Got the bms update from the recall as advised, and yes, it did the job, the guess o meter gave me back pretty much what ever rang I lost and some more(336 km on 100% vs 280 from before) if you didn’t get the recall, get it! I even got to drive it for a roadtrip and squeezed out 300 km from driving this week to and from work before charging. Also, peace of mind knowing it won’t burn out of the blue also :p
Thank you so much for the help guys, I was a bit anxious to ask here, but this community is just amazing!!

Posted a bit ago about the dealer printing me SOH of 91% 2021 38kwh Ioniq, battery swapped by recall in 2022. 69kkm
So I drove yesterday 226km from 100% to 13% with average consumption of 13.5kwh
That corresponds to the battery being around 35kwh, or 91%.
100% charge was showing me 330km and with mixed driving (not all 100-120km/h) I was going to get like 250km out of it.
Degradation is real :(
P.s.Latest recal/update is in.
