I thought my battery wasn't holding charge ie poor range, in December so I had my local dealer run the tests to determine if it was faulty.
This involves fully charging and then disabling/turning off everything not needed eg heating/aircon, radio. And driving in a particular style across a variety of road types and speeds. If the car won't drive 16 miles under this test then they will look at replacing batteries under warranty.
My car did 18 miles. So no new batteries for me!
Worth asking your dealer to test the car. But it may be that it is cold where you are (battery range is reduced in cold conditions) and/or that when running on battery only you drive really hard.
