I think you're right about it just being a memory/history based calculation. I'm guessing the battery capacity OBD2 value is averaged from miles/kwh history of some sort, maybe calculated on a set number on full charge cycles. In winter here now and range has been down of course. Battery...

Update. Torque battery capacity is now reading 16.0kwh. Received from Carvana at 15.7. Just goes to show that it is truly just a GUESS.

DFW, yep those are the PIDs I loaded and use. Just had to change the OBD2 reader to get them to show up. Updated on Spark No. 2 with 15.7-15.8kwh capacity. One of my hope was that I could make a 65 mile trip to my mother's house as a day trip. Ended up making the journey with the two boys...

Bumping this for updates. I have a tech2 clone running the gds2 software and I don't see any module that allows reprogramming for keys. There is a keyless entry module but no functions or controls inside. Has anyone used the gds2 tool and successfully activated key fobs? The manual instructions...

Thanks for the tips. I do have this charger that I use for everything: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N537IM7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I put two 18AH batteries in my son's power wheels so it only needs to be charged once a month or so haha. I need to check the...

Got the new one, just under 17k miles, DC fast charge and torque batt capacity says 15.8. So I'll keep it! Interesting energy usage though. I imagine while they were cleaning/detailing it they left the AC on full blast without driving it anywhere as the energy screen was very lopsided and it...

I'm in Blacksburg, VA or Virginia Tech. Nearest Carvana is in Greensboro, NC so they drive it 2hrs one way and I drive 7 miles to meet them to avoid a $399 delivery fee. There's a free Greenlots DC fast charge station downtown at the courthouse and several free L2 spots around town. I still have...

They roll the car off and let me drive it around for 30min or so to make sure I want to keep it. So yes I can absolutely pull the capacity with Torque and if it's low I can have the driver load it back up and take it back at no charge or obligations. I had that stupid junky ebay OBD2 dongle...

Pulled the trigger on the replacement. Body has some more paint chips in it than the first, but this one will have 17k miles in silver instead of white. Carvana has been great to deal with so far and understood why I chose to return it, but you're right Chris. If they would go through the...

Welp, Sparky No. 1 goes back to Carvana today at 10am. Already put a couple deposits on 2 more with 14-16k so I can see pics/have first option to buy when they're detailed and ready. Finger's crossed!

Thanks for all your input/information. I drove the car yesterday until I got it down to 8miles remaining, charged it overnight, and just checked the vitals: 2016 Spark EV: Battery Capacity: 14.5 kwh Full charge GOM range: 65 miles - 28000 miles on the ODO. So I did gain a tenth of a kwh on the...

Thanks for that little bit of info, wasn't aware the the battery estimate could increase. Given what I know NOW and my 7 day Carvana window I may opt to go with a different spark for $500 more that has 14k miles instead of 28k. I think my odds of a higher capacity battery are greatly increased...

I guess my answer is yes, for 90% of my needs it would be fine. There are times when I'd want to drive it 65 miles for a day trip and charge while there, then 65 miles back. The BACK is what I'm concerned about as it's a 2000 ft elevation gain toward the end of the trip. With Carvana I have...

Bah, swapped out my bluetooth adapter for an ancient one I found in the bottom of a drawer and it's working now! Now for the bad news. 2016 with 28k battery capacity is 14.4kw, ugh. Should I return this one to Carvana and try again?

New to me 2016 owner here. I just want to thank all of you for setting my expectations SO LOW for the audio quality of this car. After reading/researching adding speakers/amps/subwoofers etc, I was pleasantly surprised at how decent it sounds in factory form haha.

What if the 12V battery had to be replaced and the car hasn't had a full charge/discharge cycle, only been driven about 12 miles since the 12V battery replacement. Would that have an effect on readings/estimations in torque? SOC raw does work for me. Maybe coincidence, but it LOOKS like all...

Yeah its loaded on my screen as "Bat Cap Est" or Battery Capacity Guess. When I choose more gauges to show and scroll through the list it shows some values active/displaying data. I can even see individual cell voltages, but the battery capacity gauge doesn't show any value in that list or when...

Battery capacity guess isn't showing a value in torque pro with the bolt pids loaded. Are you all using different pids that call it something else? This is on my 2016 spark. Thanks!
