Thankyou..The actual battery never discharges below some SoC which the software will report as 0% (not true zero, if you reached true zero the battery is dead and not recoverable). The battery also never charges to true 100% as that could significantly affect its longevity. However, between the highest and the lowest that you are software allows you to charge or discharge to, there is 83.7KWh of usable energy, and the percentage is supposed to be of that region only. So when you see 100%, the battery is as full as it is allowed by software, and when it says 0% it is as low as the software will let it get to by driving (as you park it will slowly get lower, which is why Porsche says to not park the car for long times with 0% as eventually the battery will reach true zero and it will need replacement - happened to early EV's like the Tesla Roadster).
So effectively, when I am adding 10% charge to the battery on the PCM/App - I am actually adding about 8.3kw and not 9.4kw.
Right?
