Is there a "Long Battery Life" setting for the 500E as there is on a Leaf or a Tesla? It charges the battery to only 80% unless you know you're going to need the longer range so as not to stress the battery.
That's what made me a little nervous about the software update I got yesterday. I got my 500e in November and it's been flawless so far. A few days ago the radio reception on all bands got intermittent and they found a bad connection in the base of the antenna. They replaced that, but also did a drivetrain software update. Hopefully my previously fine software didn't get updated to anything buggy......He is also highly critical of the quality of the control software developed by the Chrysler engineers for the 500e, claiming that he showed them multiple code flaws that they ignored or refused to address.
