I am thinking I'm going to need a better battery warmer system and a way to insulate the battery. It had warmed up today to 24°F/-4°C outside, and the battery to the fourth temp bar, by the time I put it on the charger at the charging station. I went from 26% to 80% with only 9.1kWh of electricity, according to the charging station. You'd think that it would have been more than 10kWh. Maybe the battery percent reading isn't accurate or my battery is about to lose a battery capacity bar. But my guess is that the cold is affecting the capacity and range.
