Strange- possible range issue in my future?!

[BillPitman]

Normal day yesterday…,
doctor’s appointment ( not normal) 20 miles from home…, averaged 4.5mi/kWh
other drives 3.5…..
by end of day, SOC down to 30-35%
plugged car into my Autel charger, started charging immediately because of low SOC, shutoff at 11:30pm to wait for “ preferred charging time “, restarted at midnight- results-

Pay no attention to the “ time on charger “ Autel counts time unit has been plugged in, not just charging time! ( tried to get them to change that…..)
So, a typical charge, at this time of year, yields me 235-245 miles at 85%!
Something seems to be amiss here……..
Driving history has not been reset, at least not by me…..
Will check for DTCs
May reset charger
At a loss here……, if it was winter maybe so……. Looking for thoughts on this phenomenon! Bill P

I don't know if this helps but.........I have a '21 Select, have not been getting OTA's with any regularity, that's fine w/me......in the last 2 weeks have gotten many OTA's, pretty much up to date (I believe)......

I drive local roads, slow speeds, very little highway travel (maybe 5% over 60 mph) my miles per kwh for the life of the car is 5.6mkwh.....on a 90% soc I usually would get over 300 estimated miles....with this last update all that changed......I charged last night to 100% just to check it out, only got to 255 estimated miles......I did notice yesterday in over 20 actually miles driven, my estimated miles only went down 4 miles....soooooo.......while, after the OTA, I "get" less estimated miles than last week, I also "lose" less estimated miles than before

hope I explained this correctly......

Ford keeps messing with the GOM. Just ignore it. Your mi/kWh is fine, so you have nothing to worry about.

Also, "Time on charger" is what it says, not "time charging." Autel's got nothing to do with it.

Is your concern that the guess-o-meter is saying 158mi? If so, ignore that and look at your actual mi/kwh you are getting - and I don't mean what the car tells you. Track the percentage of battery used to go that longer distance, and do the math yourself to see what the true mi/kwh is and the true range using a large portion (say 50%) of the battery.
