Does it take a while for an EV to predict mileage accurately?

We acquired a VW E-transporter last week and have been a bit surprised at how little distance the estimation is, based on the charge level. VW quotes 225 miles for the 70kwh version (at 100% charge), which is 3.2miles per kwh. Ours is the 64kwh versions, so should be able to do 205 miles. However, even being parked on our driveway, it's only estimating 165 miles at 100% charge, which is quite the difference, at 2.5miles per kwh. In real terms, this is probably going to be even less. Is this normal, or does it take a few charges for the vehicle to get more accurate range prediction? Obviously, we knew that 205 miles would be under ideal conditions, but having 20% less range than advertised is not ideal. submitted by /u/Boba_ferret [link] [comments]
