Even at rounded 70%, it's still "good" by their definition. But the whole performance, as far as gas saving is concerned, will lose quite a bit.
Someone I know has a PHEV and he "milked" it like you said. Fully charged overnight, it shows 83%, but his ICE kicks in much more often since the battery can no longer supply with enough power for many things to a point[...]

Which PHEV is this?
I think it'll difficult for the X5 45e to show lower than 70% battery health - AFAIK there's a software lock on the 45e batteries in NA vehicles since the same battery yields more range in Euro-spec models. I assume the software will just enable more of buffered range when the battery health starts dropping to compensate for the bad cells.
