At 25% charge, my Mach E GT is as fast as my Prius in power mode!
I started noticing the grey bars of shame recently, at 25% charge I had plenty of them, I took the pic below when it was safe, at 22% the low battery warning came out, at the 25% there was no performance left, car drove and pulled like how our Prius in power mode would pull.

When my low gas light went on on my ICE cars, I don't recall performance was limited! @Ford Motor Company why it's the case here?
Since I paid for a full time GT and it appears that this is not what I am getting, can I get a 30% refund and believe me the performance of my GT is throttled way more than 30% of the times so I think my ask is more than fair!

I'm completely on board with the 5 second power limit being ridiculous, but when I'm at 25% or below power, I'm definitely fine for it to limit power at that point to make sure I can get to a charging station, since the car has no idea how far you are from one and would rather be safe than sorry.

Remember your pack voltage is dropping as your SoC drops. Which means less voltage (pressure) pushing electrons through the motor fixed resistance which will equal less current or less power. Ford is showing you the reality here more so than limiting you I suspect.

I can limit the power myself by not flooring the car, I don't really need Ford to do that for me and limit me, I started with 4 or 5 grey bars this morning, I left home with 36%.

Other EVs have a very modest reduction in speed / performance at this battery level. This excuse does not hold water imo.
