The purest electrons come from Doc Brown and the clock tower. You can get 1.21 jigawatts instantly if your timing is good. Ups your range dramatically. #fluxcapacitor.

Be careful, however, because if you're going 88 mph or more you may experience the affects of time travel. To avoid such issues remember to disconnect the flux capacitor.

Impressive.. quite impressive. .. higher frequency .. blue shifted.. electrons have more energy. Just put a Low frequency filter on the home charger.

First time poster here. This winter when I got my Mach-E, I was getting around 190 miles with a 100% charge (see picture). Now, I'm getting over 270 and growing (see picture)! I'm afraid by summer I'll be close to 300 miles in range! Is the battery swelling in the heat? Should I drive more aggressively to slow the growth? Or use different electricity? I called my dealer and explained my concerns, and they hung up on me. Next I am going to contact @Ford Motor Company and see if they have any ideas. Otherwise, it's back to the dealer it goes.

WINTER (169/.9 = 188) SPRING (244/.9 = 271)

Only charging to 90% will solve your concerns.

Filling the frunk with water will also help.

As a kid, 88mph seemed improbably fast, but as an adult I think maybe it was the fact that a DeLorean could go 88mph may have been the point.

There is nothing wrong with the battery they just don't like the cold. I owned a Chevy Bolt for over three years and during winter months the range would drop down considerably from the warmer months. There is nothing wrong with your Mustang.

Bless your heart.

I had the same issue and concern. Took it in for an oil change with synthetic castrol oil. It knocked the range back down to under 250. Was a bargain because the dealership sold me lifetime oil changes for a paltry sum of $449 when I bought the MME. What a deal!
Castro doesn’t make 0w0 weight oil. It must be Mobil One.

Clearly Ford must have done an OTA that messed up your car. I suggest contacting a lawyer and INSIST that they file a class action lawsuit! This is unacceptable! You have come to expect a certain range and now you suddenly get more? UNACCEPTABLE!

Now SOME PEOPLE (Ford Stans/apologists) here may try to say it's do to weather or how you drive. This is just crazy talk, they are hiding the truth from us.
You know what they say about sarcasm…..

Kidding aside, this is pretty impressive. Do you just drive very conservatively, or do you live in a flat state? How are you getting that kind of range?
