I got my Smart ED on May 1.
I've driven it 1150 miles since then. I charge it when it's below 30 miles of range, which often means I have 15 to 20.
Recently the estimated range seems to have taken a decline.
This morning, for example, fully charged (was at 24 miles range last night) it said I had 58 miles of range. I drove it quite carefully about four miles round trip, and it says I have 56 miles of range.
I'm "okay" with the range estimates adjusting depending on how you drive it (the 4 miles this morning was to the post office and back - mostly downhill to the post office, and uphill back of course), but I'm curious why it no longer says "68" or so when I get into the car.
I generally achieve good "Eco" ratings (useless as they are) when driving, and my driving is a mix of "light city" and highway (even the seven-mile trip to work is about 3.5 of each).
It was 73° outside this morning, so it's not like it was particularly cold or hot.
Also, is there a way to "reset" the range estimates? I can see the "RESET" indicator that has an arrow, but pushing the button doesn't seem to do anything. The manual is elsewhere at the moment or I would just RTFM.
My in-laws live 25 miles away, so a range estimate of "57" makes my wife nervous to visit them. She'd feel a lot more comfortable if it said "68" again.
Any help or insights are appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: I do not have the A/C or heat on. The car reports 57 miles or so when I get in first thing with a full charge.
