Battery Losing Range at Low SOC

[johnse]

I know that with Teslas the BMS will do cell balancing at the top of the charging process... between about 92% and 100% IIRC. So it's often suggested to charge to 100% occasionally and immediately drive it so it doesn't sit at the high SOC. Subsequently running it down to single-digit SOC helps the BMS to calibrate the present capacity.

Is that also true for Lucid?

My 2017 chevy Bolt does a better job

I don't know why I find this post so irritating, but I do.

Because you weren’t aware you could have had a much better car for much less money!

True for all lithium-based cell chemistries, which includes Lucid. But also good to remember that this does little for the health of the battery itself - rather the opposite if anything. I've encountered people who almost religiously tried "calibrating their battery" by ramming it up to 100% and going as deep as 1-2% as often and once per week. Totally unnecessary, and likely to increase degradation.

Your 2017 Chevy Bolt was not on topic. What’s that saying about throwing stones in glass houses?

That's fair
