Just how low will range get?

[Major]

With each succeeding charge my Mach-E is showing a lower range. Today it shows 253 miles of range. I have the AWD Extended range model of the First Edition. I realize the temperatures have been a bit lower, but not all that low. We have been having temperatures (during my driving times) of between 45-80 F.

I think there might be one or two other threads on this?

The wisdom seems to be: take longer, slower drives, ignore the GOM, precondition when practical, and move closer to the equator.

Ah, the range limbo dance. How low can you go?

Premium 4X. 120 miles / 80% = 150 miles at 100%.

Sounds like Houston and Phoenix have similar temps this time of year? 45F in the mornings and then warms up to around 65-70 F later in the day.

The GOM on my car freaked out on the first 2 or 3 mornings when temps were sub 60F. I was seeing something like 218 @ 90% on the range estimation display. However, since then it has figured out that the temps don't stay that way all day long so it is making a better guess now.
For the last few weeks, the range estimation @ 90% has been in the 232-245 mile range. So, that works out to around 257-272 miles at 100%

Towards the end of last week I changed my charge limit to 100%. Thursday was predicting 264 miles, Friday morning predicted 272 miles and Saturday predicted 279 miles. I drove quite a bit on Thursday and Friday and the range estimation at the start of the day seemed pretty close.

The car might like being closer to the equator, but I wouldn't.

Similar temps here, latest charge to 100% showing 262.

Ok, so now have to add @Major and @RockwallRick to the "I hate you list" joining @Kamuelaflyer and @GoFastr.

Currently 27, was 12 when we woke up, single digits for lows next week. Range currently 157@90% = 174@100%. That's up a bit.

253?? Wow, you're doing great! I've been floating around 170 for the last month. ?

Fortunately it's just the GOM, which is largely meaningless. It's not the real range.

Fortunately for me and my Wife the actual range has been better!

The lowest I got was going 148 highest miles (75 and 70 mph the whole way), weather was in the teens and plenty of snow flurries. Started at 80% got home with 5%.


So only about 197 miles of range (or 2.2 mile/kW). Going the other way a day before (similar conditions but with preconditioning) I averaged 3.0 miles per kW which is roughly 264 mile range.

Haha.

This morning’s absurd guess by the GOM. Remember, no one said the guess has to be accurate.

Today’s blizzard like conditions? 52F at 7am under crystal clear skies. Where’d I hide my parka?

I wonder if the @Administrator would care if I used profanities just this once... I've got a parka for you, buddy!

 

[Cabel]

This is mine at about 22F this evening. Don't really care, as I rarely drive more than ~80 miles a day.

When it was 20-25F out here a couple of weeks ago, lowest on 100% charge I got on the GOM was 160miles. With temps from 38-45 recently, it’s back up to 200miles… when it was in the 60s I saw 250-280miles. This is just the GOM, never did the math to figure out how much I was actually getting. First edition AWD extended range here.
