Battery range drop after software update on Ariya Venture+

[Santa Phrase]

After an update in November, my 87 kWh battery in the Ariya now only gets 219 miles, down from 304. The service department insists it’s normal, but I paid extra for that range, I'm told to call Nissan, so wish me luck!

Whoa wait! That's a huge range drop after the November update! Going from 304 miles to 219 on your Ariya's 87 kWh battery is definitely not normal, and I'd be furious if the service tried to tell me otherwise. Calling Nissan directly was right. Give the specific range decrease after the update, and don't let them fob you off. Hopefully, they'll acknowledge the issue and offer a fix.

The update was from Nissan, rolled out in November, and it seems to have significantly impacted my range. The service department insists it's normal, but I'm planning to follow up with Nissan directly.

I agree, that's a huge drop in range, it’s frustrating when the service department brushes it off. I’ll be clear with Nissan about the specific decrease and push for a solution.

I would do a 100 - 20% range test and see if anything has really changed.
