Mach e Battery Issue - sharply reduced battery range -- and getting worse.

[Auto Motive]

I have the 2021 Mach e Premium standard battery. 6,000 miles on the clock since May, never quick charged.

Love the car, but am seeing sharply reduced battery range--and getting worse.

Currently, a 95% charge gives me less than 170 miles.

Dealer has no idea. Any thoughts?

Had same issue with our GTPE button d out the dealer used our car over a weekend racing the hell out. Eventually we found out to reset driving history. After sitting at 220 range with 70 deg temp we finally are showing 240 at 8 deg. It took two months for the computer to recalibrate our driving which is under 50 18 miles a day. Try same thing and you should at least get an idea if its
a battery issue.

Well It also has to do with your driving habits. Wait till spring before you get too worked up.

Weather and tire pressure. As the temperature swings, your tires lose more air. If your tire pressure isn't at least 40 psi, you are losing range due to that. Check it out.

My 100% charge now shows 175km. At the weekend it was 290km. Hopefully tomorrow when the temperature is back up to 0 it will return to 290km

It really is all cold temp related. You need to remember the GOM is super conservative in the range. My car has lost 70 miles of range from Sep but real world it is closer to 20 miles. It drops the remaining range slowly. It just super conservative.

The evil GOM strikes again.

These cold weather range complaint posts are getting really tiring. Yesterday I got 3.1 kWh of efficiency on a drive in cold weather. Not -167, but still 40 degrees cold. I even had the heat at 70 and the tires deflated to 33 psi. Everything stacked against it and still, because I didn't drive like a lunatic, I got decent efficiency. People just need to relax and do some testing before they determine all is lost.

I somehow missed this thread. What a roller coaster. I hate it.
