Maybe the batteries are coming to end of life. Its the big downfall, depending on age and charging cycles. If you use a lot of fast chargers they shorten battery life.

You’ll never get the range expected, especially in winter. Nobody ever drives down to zero miles before charging either.

As a guide, a loss of 15% in summer and 20% in winter is a pretty close estimation. That’s certainly the case in my Tesla model 3, which is one of the more efficient electric vehicles.
