Curious as what the range gained per hour? Wondering if it was preset or varied? Charging at around 20 or 25 percent battery and it shows 16 miles and hour of range being added.

I don't even pay attention to range added

16 miles of range per hour is expected given the size of the battery pack. EV's with a pack half as big using the same power delivery get 35ish miles of range per hour. Twice the size, half the rate.

Ours is around 16-18 miles per hour when plugging it in sub 50%. Only tend to plug in once a week at most unless we are roadtripping as the range for around town driving has been amazing.

The happiest EV is one that is plugged in as much as possible I've always heard. For battery health, 12v health, etc.

Question regarding charging and what I have heard about battery issues. Does the 12 volt battery get charged while plugged in or only when the main batteries are connected, aka while the vehicle is on/driving?

The truck maintains the 12v when it is on (aka driving or sitting turned on, etc.). The truck also maintains it when off and plugged in if needed. I'm not sure about when its off and not plugged in? -> @Tom E-Tron? I.e. letting it sit unplugged a very long time raise 12v issues unless it reconnects and the HV chargers it. Overall the HV battery stays disconnected when truck is not in use for safety.

There is a schedule for when it checks and tops up the battery when it's unplugged. I don't know what it is offhand though. It's not user adjustable

Travwill/Dark-FX,
Thanks for the info. I spend a lot of time overseas and the truck will be sitting in the garage plugged in. After hearing about the battery issues I was concerned that when I came home there might be a high chance the 12V would be dead if not maintained by the charger/main batteries. So, good news to hear that is not the case.

thanks again,

J

If it's more than a month, you're actually supposed to leave it with the 12V battery disconnected. The behavior changes after a long period of time. Might make sense to hook up an AGM trickle charger on the battery as a secondary measure if you don't want to disconnect it.

Dark-FX,

Ok, that makes sense. I will do that.

thank you,

The owners manual says keep plugned ln . The truck has cooling fans to keep the battery cool, so a hot unvenalated space is not good at all.
