What percentage did you start with? You mentioned 300km at start, I’m curious what km range your getting at 100% charge in the cold winter conditions.Did a 220 Km run yesterday -13C. Some 2 way major highway, 90% divided (110 km/hr) and 5 minutes city streets. Said I had 300 Km when I left and I had 80km and 28% when I got back. Toke longer to charge than the day before -26C this morning plugged in at 4:30 PM and 100% 6:30 AM this morning. Ran well. Interface is a bit buggy. I have been swap Bluetooth and apple car play for google maps. Have not used the complimentary nav yet and it was greyed out the first time I looked at it. Google works. I stopped at the chargers just back from my turn around, but did not charge, looks like they have been getting a lot of use this winter season.
Got a call from my dealer last night. He expects the car early next week. Timing isn't the best as we are having work done in our house and have to stay in a hotel for 3 days. I don't want to leave my new car to a valet parking guy. May ask the dealer to keep it till Friday.
Made sure I drove like I do normally. Passing on passing lanes giving it a bit more. Was not like I was timid. Went around two transports on the divided throwing dust so I went around quick. Keep an eye on the small digital display was up to 160 pretty quick.Extended range, 4wd, -13c, 300km ... seem good. So with a regular battery i should get ... at least 200km even at -13
I am happy with the results but no big surprise and had 30% left for a reason. Was definitly watching battery percentage to hit 65% on the way out and never did so I knew I was good. These were my guesstimates based on highway dyna. Pretty close so far.
Did you preheat the inside before the drive (while plugged in)? I find it makes a big difference on my Volt. Besides the cold, snow (especially wet snow) sucks the driving range off.Made sure I drove like I do normally. Passing on passing lanes giving it a bit more. Was not like I was timid.

Yes it did. A 15 minute preheat when you push the fordpass start, can be extended to 30. I used 15.
With no ICE to make noise you have to rely on the display for sure. At that speed even your car would have gone to jail.?Keep an eye on the small digital display was up to 160 pretty quick.
