I've been able to duplicate driving 53 km electric (full to empty) 80-90% on highway at speed 115 km/h per speedometer. So range is lost but not that much as otherwise I am making 65 km max, due to heating most likely. My preheating is via wallbox (and warm garage at work) so I start the day with 100% for driving.

The battery charge percentage setting only applies to the Battery Control drive mode that uses ICE to fill up the battery. The battery percentages are fractions of the net capacity of 21.6 kWh.

The net capacity happens to be 90% of the gross capacity but since you never witness that 10%, it is almost irrelevant. Hearsay tells that it leaves some space at the bottom and some at the top, full range being maybe 5% (empty) to 95% (full), top margin being for recuperation even with full battery.
