Battery range less than official figures

[JLH]

I have a California Route 66 with an extended range battery. It's supposed to get 314 miles on a charge but it charges to 271 and the home charger is set to to 100%. Anyone have a similar issue?

Yes, everyone has a similar issue between October-March.

I’m sure this is the only Route 66 owner with this issue.

Only a matter of time until Ford patches this to always show full range at 100% and just have it recalculate later to stop this nonsense

OP should go to the dealership in that other tread that apparently confirmed that the battery size was wrong and get their battery checked out.

The EPA range is based on defined driving conditions and speeds that you may not achieve if your condition or speed are different. If you drive a constant 55 mph in 68 F on flat roads with no head wind you will get over the EPA range however at 70 mph you will not. This is the same for ICE and their EPA ratings. Just never thought as much about EPA with ICE.

That is the shortest form reply I can come up with. There are a "few" threads like yours you can search for for more info.

There arenmany stumbling blocks that keep the EV revolution from fully materializing. Lack of educating consumers is high on that list.

First word of advice: try not to range obsess. Instead learn to manage the range you have. You will enjoy the car so much more if you do.

And unless you drive more than 150 miles every day, I think you will find your range quite manageable.

Here is the estimated range of my extended range, 91 kWh, 270 mile EPA rated MME:
