Have the 27kw 2015 model, a while ago the range shown in the dashboard dropped by some 20 kilometers after charging, now it shows only up to 106 km after charging but used to show approx 130 km. I allways charge at home during the evening and nights in my garage where the temp never goes below 10 degrees celsius. Does the winter and the outside cold have a say in this? The car is now at 65.000 km. driven, and all the bars are showing in the dash for charging.
 
That's not really a charging issue, the onboard charger is still charging the battery. It's either a battery issue or just drop in range with temperature.

To determine if you have a battery issue, you can either ask the dealer for a battery State Of Health report (which they may charge for) or you can do it yourself with an Android phone and an OBDII dongle. See the threads on Soul Spy or Torque for more information.
