How does that follow? You started from an arbitrary point below 50% reported (not necessarily actual as we don't know what Chevy is reporting), but just because there is (surely) an end balancing stage you can't conclude that it must have greater than 60kWh battery.There's no way to test this AFAIK. You could try to drive the battery truly to zero, then do a full charge, measuring how much energy it uses. But what if it ends up as 60kWh? Well by definition if there's any end buffer (say something crazy like 10kWh) then by definition Chevy is only going to charge to 60, leaving that last bit as unused capacity to pamper the battery.
