    I have a 2020 Prime now with 90,000 miles. I used to get up to 40 miles on a charge. Now I get 23 miles on a charge. I am wondering if the extra cost of buying a plug in is worth it.

    good question, that's a big drop.
    before deciding, review all the external factors that can affect range. most people aren't losing more than 10% or so.
    another good test is battery capacity. you can measure total kwh to fill from empty using a meter that goes between the evse and wall outlet, or use a public charger that gives you a readout.

    Too many unknown variables and factors.
    How much does a new plugin cost?
