Sudden catastrophic loss in range

[MrDRMorgan]

Is it possible that "gunning it" + over 105 deg. F + heavy AC & high fan speed caused the car's computer to make a sudden re-adjustment to your "Guess-O-Meter" range value?

When I picked up my used 2014 Spark EV 2LT a month ago it would only charge to 77 miles as shown on the GOM. By conservatively driving - AC was in use most of the time ( 2 fan speed bars) - I now see 100 to 102 miles after a full L2 charging session. It took about 250 miles of careful driving to get the GOM number up over 100.

Yes of course range will drop when gunning it....but I did so for about 3-4 seconds. But an almost 70 mile drop in range??? I doubt it very very much.

Clearly something else was going on.

I would have to agree something else is going on. Please advise when you find out what it is.

I just posted this notice my dealer told me about (he called it a "recall"), which is dated August 15:
