Charge % @100% but range @ 195

Will Mach E contine to charge up to 250 miles (Range) even though % Charge indicator says 100%?

No. 100% is the max you will see.
Estimated range at 100% will vary based on several factors. Primarily usage and temperature. As usage and temperature changes, so will the estimated range.

You will get less range in the winter, and the range estimate in the car (GOM) is very conservative. This is normal.

Your range will be much better if you live in the South!

You've posted a number of times about your range. You live in an area where the temps go down into the 30s at night. When temps drop, range drops.

You can never charge to more than 100%.

Just got my vehicle updated last week. At 90%, I was up to 209 miles. Yesterday 195. Today 202. All due to temperature.

Thank you for all your replies. I do live in Southern California and even in winter, temps north of 40F. I have had this vehicle for 7 mos, and all during that time 250 max @ 100% charge was easily achieved in all conditions. Suddenly can't get range over 186 with % charge @ 100%. Thx for all the help, I just can't believe its weather related. Temp right now 52F.

Right now? What was it when you checked the range and posted it?

And 52 is by no means ideal.

My car said 209 the other day at 90%, then 195 yesterday. Now it says 202. It is 44 out.

It also takes your driving habits into account, along with how you're heating your car, outside temp... etc etc etc etc.

My 90% max charge typically says about 180 on my First Edition. I'm a absolute lead foot, it's 25 degrees out (Fahrenheit), I run E-heat, heated seats and wheel. So I'm basically in the exact same ballpark as you. My 100% state of charge would render me about 198 miles.

Just a perk of EV ownership.

I disagree.

Every coach has always told me to “give it 110%”

Are you calling them liars?

 

[EELinneman]

Excuse me, but if they can make amps go to 11, then my MME should go much higher than 100%. It's newer and better technology.

198 @ 100% sounds reasonable but 186 @ 100% in warm southern cal with no heat is not consistent. BTW master reset does nothing. Do you agree it ain't working right?
Thx

It's working as expected.

In the process of troubleshooting real or no real problem, I did something. I RESET EV DRIVING HISTORY. Voila, range jumped to 195 @ 94% charge. Maybe close to proper values.

You do realize that does nothing in real life. That's just an estimate based upon current temp and 0 driving history.
Your 100% is still 100%.

Ok. Based on current temp (55F) + zero driving history, I would expect
More like 220 @ 95% charge. 7 mos driving now it seems like MachE has done a context seitch
