The buffer is not on the full load, but on the downside. Obviously there is no buffer on fulling loading the battery. But EVERY electric vehicle it is recommended that you stay keep the charge 20-80%, not above, not below, to preserve the battery. Of course with any EV you CAN load it to 100%, but why, your ICE vehicle is almost NEVER above 80%. You dont fill up your ICE everyday. But you can load it to 80% every night from home. So only load it to 100% ONLY when you plan on needing it, just as you fill your ICE before taking a long journey.Ok this is ridiculous. There is a built in buffer that is not an accessible charge capacity, so apparent charge to 100% should only fill up to 88% of real battery capacity. Now Porsche also says that for regular daily use charge to 80% of apparent capacity?? So 80% of 88%??? This calculates to around 70%. If so I may be out. I was ready to settle for less range than a MS but not that much.
