After reviewing a number of online reviews I have come to realize that people are not taking into account all of the other electronic components inside of an electronic vehicle such as the Mach E .

It seems clear that people are taking a look at the fact that these algorithms ford is using aren't necessarily related to anything other than drivetrain mileage assumptions.

As with gasoline power motors the gas gauge is an assumption of how much gas is left similar to the percentage of charge that's left is an assumption.

Like with all my Gas vehicles I never let the gas gauge go below a quarter tank that should apply to any electronic vehicle using an onboard computer to maximize your trip performance is like a person driving around on an empty tank of gas hoping that they'll make it to the next gas station.

if you are using the Heater AC or other power devises they are most likely not of fords mileage calculations.

Just Take 15 % off the top to start .

Actually...If you read one of the one million threads on the guess-o-meter you'll see it is in general very pessimistic unless you suddenly change driving behavior to a much higher usage style (aka 80mph long trip after doing all city driving).

In my normal day to day driving, even in the winter, I always well exceed what the GOM tells me my range will be and I believe it is the same with most if not everyone here.

Look at a Tesla on the other hand and you may say 326 miles to empty at 100% but you won't get close to that. Go look at the real world range comparisons. The mach e has a more realistic...yet pessimistic distance to empty meter.

Please don't get me wrong here I think the mileage I'm getting out of the car is fantastic but I treat it like a gas car then I'm driving around in a country that doesn't have any gas stations.

so take the pessimistic gom and take 15% off the top. Thanks for the tip /s
