My range is off

[RedStallion]

I have a GT AWD and my range supposed to be in the 320 range but at full charge I'm at 200 at best. Is something wrong? Is there an update needs to be done?

Buy Lucid, and I'm not saying that just because I've bough a lot of shares ?

I assume you mean the predicted range, not your actual range. That’s just a guess, ignore it.

My GT at home charge shows 100% is 225 miles. I think the manufacture has not allowed the full charge of capacity due to concern about fire. The 80% at home restrictions was achieve by update however there is no way I can get to 270 miles with the up to date software.

I know I'm late to the party but the reason OP probably thought 300+ mile range is because in Europe (I know OP profile say theyre in US) that's what the MME with extended battery is rated for. I don't fully understand why Europe and US have such different range estimates but I do know the process for testing the range is completely different.

European MME says "
91kWh (98kWh) Extended Range
Drive up to 310 miles on a single charge††

KEY INFORMATION

• Range: 310 miles††
• Usable Battery Capacity: 91 kWh"

I think you're thinking of the Chevy Bolt (that has a software limited capacity until the recall is completed). You can use 100% of the available battery capacity on the Mach-E.

Your understanding is incorrect. First, there is no 80% at home restriction.

Second, it's winter. Range is impacted by cold weather.

Finally, the GOM is inaccurate. Dozens of threads on this.

European MME says " Equipped with an extended-range battery and rear-wheel drive, Mustang Mach‑E has a targeted pure-electric driving range of up to 600 km (more than 370 miles) "

OP is in Atlanta, GA, USA...

Do a Google search on "WLTP vs EPA".

Yes I know that...But can you think of any other reason someone would assume something has 300+ mile range when not a single US advertisement said so?

I could, but then the post would be removed because I referenced a quote of George Carlin's...

I make sure my range is off whenever I leave the house!

Sure, but I bet your refrigerator is running.
