Battery level gauge (SOC) readings are off big time!

9 posts in this topic

It shows 40% soc when the car is off and it's buried when fully charged. Is there a fix?

If I can't find a fix I'll have to. I've texted my sales Rep and he'll look into it tomorrow. Weird.

The needle on the SOC gauge on my 2014 Smart ED reads 0 when off.

The phone app can tell you the state of charge when you are not in the car.

Do you have a picture and more detailed explanation for the issue.

I've seen a couple glitches here and there, but nothing serious. Typically, when I turn on the car the needle will only go up to 50%, but after you move about 10 feet it jumps up to 100%. That's only happened about half a dozen times over the course of two years.

Well it slowly made its way back to zero when off after 3 days of driving. Very weird. I'll post if it happens again. Haven't charged it yet either.

I would take some video of it with your cell phone or something, so that you have something to show the dealer in case it doesn't happen when you take it in to get looked at.

Well it happened again and is going in for service next Friday. I'll post back if they actually tell me anything.

Car is also having hard time engaging in park periodically.
