    It gives me 16,5kw, bone 87%, so what's up?
    Let's see if now that it's not windy, the consumption of 15kw/h will drop a bit and my autonomy will increase a bit

    I couldn't go today. A sensor light on the battery display came on and the car just wouldn't start. I drive a bmw i3.

    Mine has 15,1kw useful, the 60ah one, therefore it has 77% useful, it has lost 22% in 8 years
    I hope that now when spring comes, I can regain some capacity.
