I own a 2018 Outlander PHEV in USA. The battery capacity is rated at 12 kWh. Ever since I bought the car I have noticed that on a full charge the energy used is between 9-9.6 kWh.

Should the energy used be close to 12 kWh like 11.something?? Anyone else notice the same behavior?
 
Ok that helps. I was wondering if something is wrong with my battery.

Follow up question: In what scenario will the reserve be used?
 
If you dig a little bit in this forum, there is post where the OP drains the batteries to “reset” the BMS.

IMO, lithium ion batteries doesn’t have memory effect like NiCd. And there is only on scenario I would use up all reserve: at end of life. Short both terminal and dispose them resposably.
