I think the 50-100 is correct, read it somewhere. Thanks for the graph of the pack condition.

I made my CVT battery die to get the dealer to replace the battery under warranty. Used the battery for acceleration the coasted in neutral until it died.

I could always adjust my driving technique to use or avoid the battery but the CVT is more aggressive in battery use, or so it seems.
