Low estimated range

[MrMonkeyMonk]

So, we've had our Mach-e about month. We've go the extended range AWD, but charging to 90% only displays ~160 miles of range. We bought in the colder part of the year here, but I'm concerned that we may have gotten screwed and received a SR car instead of the ER.

Does the estimated range take temperature into account (thus lowering the estimate), is there some way to reset the estimated range, or did I get shafted?

But also keep in mind for ICE https://fueleconomy.gov/FEG/coldweather.shtml

I own the same. It should be obvious which one you got the ER vs SR based on how many kwh is charged when it's 100%. Can I ask what the temp is where you are? At 53% I'm at ~106 miles around 30 degrees but it has been mostly city miles for me lately which can increase the estimated range. When I was on a road trip I assumed a 40% hit which is around 160 miles at 100% or ~130 miles at 80% if you're road tripping in worst case scenario. But that's just my ball park guess all depends on how you drive.

That's not a thing.

check your VIN/invoice to be sure you actually bought ER, then
do some reading, and I think you can answer your own question in 10 minutes.....

Yes, the estimated range takes temperature into account.
Yes, you can reset it. Then, it will take temperature into account. Given your short ownership, nothing will end up different.

Take the miles per kilowatt hour you are currently getting times 91 and see if that's close to the displayed range.

Standard range battery awd here, car says 125 miles at 80%SOC, has been driving in freezing rain for the past few days. So I think your battery is ok.

It’s cold out and I’ve done mostly highway driving. Guarantee I have the extended range battery.
