Carscanner.info app and Battery Degradation

How accurate is the carscanner.info app for understanding battery degradation? My car is ~7 months old with around 6000 miles on it. While I am a little OCD about charging and keep SOC between 45% and 70% for day to day driving, I still find it hard to believe it has 77800 Wh on it still. I would have thought to see more degradation

This answer only car scanner app developer can answer.
But this pid is one of 3 pids used with ODIS for SOH.
And what you doing is great cycle between charging and discharging
Hard acceleration are another thing that affects SOH.
HV Battery energy content is unit 19, RDID $2AB8 in ODIS-E
Maximum energy content of the traction battery is unit 19, RDID $2AB2 in ODIS-E.
What are other pids odis uses for SoC and SoH? Please tell there RDID and unit, so I can add them.

So I just checked mine (I’m at 750 miles) and it shows 78000 Wh. I thought it was 77 kWh usable. What gives?
I saw someone else with a < 3 month old ID4 who also had over 77000Wh. I wonder if 77kwh is to 0% charge then the last 1kw is your emergency move the car after 0%? I don't think many people scan a new car.

Thanks for scanning and sharing. This is the closest to a new ID4 I have seen.

How much did yours go up? Yours were already above 77k.
Mine still going down slowly but surely, currently at 73550. 11/1 was 74897.
Last time I did 0 to 100 charge it went back to 74550 but soon it continue on its path down.
Lets say drops around 1300wh per 3 months, if linear 7% per year, I heard its not linear 🤞

My lowest was 72600 last february (5.7%) freezing temps. Then it got warmer some weeks ago 75F, it went back up to 73700 (4.3%). Past few days got colder again and went down again to 73300 (4.8%). 🤷‍♂️

I wish we could better understand the readouts. But thankfully VW is so extremely helpful to educate us on all these questions☹ and the dealers are also so knowledgeable i am ways impressed
What are your specific pids of interest.
Name some and i will explain.
I'm the one who donated almost all pids for ID4 ( it is my hobby and I don't get paid or i get any sponsorship from carscanner app developer, it is my donation to all that are interested in more information pulled by obd2).
I have also supplied bunch of pids for many other brands, usually if they let me have specific vehicles i can tag and address 1000th of them in couple days.

Fiat anything is not to be compared to a functioning car. Ask me how I know. 😖

Road-trip the ID.4 and hot rod it all you like. It is paranoid in my opinion to think you are killing it’s excellent LG battery.

Edit- Well except maybe for the first 10,000. 😂 But at least it is a minor glitch on a newly developed product and it’s not like they burn like other BEV’s have. 🧯

SOH is within 1-3% depending on temperature vs ODIS.
Carscanner has no ability to pass firewall to access another 3 pids for SOH and SOC.
Pids that show energy available is spot on. As SOH goes down, you will see less energy when fully charged . That is another pid that can be recorded for 📈

Today (optimal temp of 70ish) I was at 72400 and I have ~17.2k on the clock (bought used). I haven't done the BMS calibration yet (run to near 0 then charge to 100) so not sure if that will make much of a difference.

I am down to 10.2% degradation or 69150, following the "waves" of cold / warm seasons. It seems the degradation still pretty linear so far.
The range... it may have degraded just a little bit but nothing close to 10.2%.... how long it will stay that way... we will see.......

Your data is way higher resolution than mine. I thought I was keeping tabs on things by looking every 6 months 😂 I am wondering if the new software will give our 2021s / FEs some of the lost range back with efficiency. Looks like you have a lot of data on the estimated range. Have you gotten your upgrade email yet? It would be super cool if you could keep up your data tracking on estimated range after the 3.1 update. I wish I tracked that too now.
