I also have an extended range battery, yet I haven’t gotten close to 300, much less 312. I’m in upstate NY and it’s been in the 50s. Car is only ten days old and I’m sad that I don’t have the range I expected. Has anyone else experienced this?
It depends on how you drive the car. If you drive exactly the same way as the EPA test, you will get EPA range. If you drive slower, you will get better than EPA range. If you drive faster, you will get worse then EPA range. I get about 220 miles of range on the highway. That's normal for 75-80mph.
I think Mike and David have it all wrong. Obviously the OP filled up with EXtra Capacitive InTensive Electrons (EXCITE). These electrons are EXCITEd, but there's nothing excited about the driving style when you get them. You just go a looooooooooong (yawn) way.
nope, never
Susan, I have a California RT1 RWD that lives along the SF Bay where average temperatures have ranges between 50-60 this spring and summer (this is a historically cool year).
these are just the inverted energy values as seen in the movie Tenet.FordPass is in on it. A recent (enough) trip to the grocery store.
Good to see they’re finally giving some real numbers to us.
Thanks; I’ll try preconditioning. Also, just to be clear, I am not talking about the mileage I am actually getting. I am talking about what the car tells me is a 90% or 100% charge. Which, so far, has been below 300. First longer road trip today. I otherwise completely love the car.
Your car is only 10 days old. Typically the car is delivered with a lower range estimate. It will need time to learn your driving style to more accurately predict your range, like 2000 miles. Focus on the miles/kWh you are getting, if you are averaging 3.3 or above your range is 300+. Updates also tend to reset the estimate so don’t freak out if you get in your car one morning and the range estimate has dropped by 30miles overnight Preconditioning is a waste of energy unless it is very cold and you need the extra range.
Miles will drop very fast. We have a GTPE and on a hot day at 100pct it showed 298. Drop off was immediate. We do have a summer average of 280 driving hiway at 65 mph 80 deg with ac on 68 fan 2 running 3kwh. 50 and under at 3.5 kwh to 4.0kwh. Kick it in the ass and wow does it drop like 1.7kw . Its how you drive.
Very helpful: thanks. I got 3.3 miles/kWh today. And I didn’t know the car was smart enough to learn my driving style. That wasn’t true of our ID4.
I use a insurance app and I drive sensibly enough that when I unplugged her this morning, it said 351 miles at 90%. I want to drive it like I have always driven, but the app lowers my rate by $1,200 per year. Florida has been hot and it's also flat land.
After being mocked like this, they'll probably just move on to forums for other Ford models and put this one on ignore. I probably would. "If they don't appreciate our help, so be it."
They could mitigate the mocking by providing actual help.
Not everyone is a jerk.
