[Jimrpa]

This is just annoying. Apple thinks my MUstang Mach E battery is low when it’s over 80% ?‍ I get this all the time ?

So, yes I understand it's annoying. But there is a reason it's happening. The App does NOT hand the better data to the vehicle. It can only share data when the vehicle is connected via CarPlay. The numbers can get very off if you don't always use CarPlay.

I rarely get this notification, but definitely have when the battery wasn't low. Reconnecting the phone resolves the issue.

Bluetooth connections don't data share like CarPlay does since the Wifi connection has more bandwidth to handoff more data. So it doesn't matter if your connected to bluetooth. If you don't use CarPlay on trips, then I would suggest removing the vehicle in Apple Maps to disconnect the EV routing features.

I thought the Mach E forum was where we came to complain about anything (non-political)? ?????

But my old iPhone 4 bumper doesn’t fit my iPhone 14 Pro Max ???

The car's built in systems barely integrate with each other. I'm shocked that it plays well with a 3rd party at all.

My phone is always connected via wireless CarPlay when I’m in my vehicle. Are you saying all people will randomly get these erroneous notifications when their phone isn’t connected to the vehicle via CarPlay? ?

No. Many people don't use fruit phones, and never have any CarPlay issues, because the only playing in the car they do, well, is none of your business. ?

I can say I certainly don't get these issues and I heavily use CarPlay. If you're getting them often or like twice a week or something. There is something wrong locally with your iPhone. What version of IOS are you on?

Oh there's an idea we should bring up again. Kinetic charing via the shocks.

Tim leaves the house for a hot night out, comes back with .5% more charge than he left with. Good job Tim.

I have a fully updated iPhone 14 Pro and I get this periodically - usually when the car is in the 80% range. I use CarPlay all the time and I've not been able to correlate the message to anything other than (in my recollection) it has always been wrong.

That said, I just ignore it and get on with my life.

I've never gotten a low battery warning from my phone about the car. But I hardly use Apple Maps while driving.
