My car is showing yellow light on the app even though the car is fully charged, the light on the car is green and it should turn off after the car is fully charged on the app and on the car but the light is staying sold green on the car a yellow on the app and not turning off.
I was getting yesterday 18 miles on the charge and 20 on pure but now with this light thing not working well, I am getting 16 and 18 on pure.

  • Does this mean the electricity is being used but the car is not taking it since it thinks it's fully charged and I am wasting electricity?
  • Is there something wrong with the charger?
  • Is there something wrong with my plug on the car?
  • Is there something wrong with my car battery?
Please share if anyone has any insights please
Thanks

The app is about as trustworthy as your least favored political figure. Getting identical range isn't realistic, any change in driving or route or temp or other settings could play a factor. I wouldn't consider any aspect of the app to be truthful above anything else. The light will be solid green for a little bit then turn off. How long after it was fully charged did you check on the cars light?

I have been a little bit obsessive about the sold green light on the car, didn't use this car all day today so it was fully charged... The light was off most of the day but them I moved the car and plugged it back in because I have a cabin preconditioning set for the morning so I plugged the charged in and after and hour the light was still sold green.
