I generally charge to 90 every day and drop to around 30-35% most days with probably once a month to <10% and a couple of times below 25% each month.
I’m currently only at around 13000 miles because I rarely use it other than for my commute to work.

The app can only be run every 2 months for some reason, I'm wondering how accurate this really is:

Also it MUST have a data connection during the check, as I found out when I had none and it failed to complete, so my suspicions over if this is snake oil is increasing because why would it need to contact a remote server if the data is actually being read from the car?

I think it needs data connection to confirm the license as it is by subscription because not only PKC but also PCC needs connection.

For other cars it reads each battery cells data but with the honda e I did not get that data, so most probably all it does is it reads the kWh at that certain SOC and compares it to the level it should be for a brand new car. In a way it is telling you the maximum capacity left but not all the other factors that can also affect the battery health. So I don't rely on it but can give you an indication if something is not right.

It’s reported:
  • SoC: 33%
  • Ambient temp: 8C
  • Battery temp: 13.5C
  • Max battery capacity respect to new: 99.3%
When I get an opportunity to charge to 100% I’ll check again, assuming that it can be repeatedly checked.
Did you try PCC or only PKC?
If you charge to 100% use PCC to check how much kWh it will indicate. Brand new car should show around 31.3 kWh I think.

I only used PKC because I'll be away this week, so there's no point in wasting a week of a trial.

I bought a vlinker BM.
However, it does not connect with the app.
Could you tell me how many minutes it takes to connect after pressing the search button?
