  1. Based on all the feedback here, I have performed two tests on the EV battery. Both tests are with all climate control turned off, no headlights and speeds ranging from 25 - 45 mph . Test #1: AUTO mode (careful not to activate ICE). 45 F, 21.6 MI. 5.1 kWh. Test #2: EV now mode, 40 F, 22.6 MI. 5.1 kWh. Not bad considering it's only 40 to 45 degrees outside. I don't think I could expect much better if it were 70° outside. I guess there's nothing wrong with my EV system and I've just been draining the battery on climate control.
  2. Yeah, it must be burned out as I've never seen it come on. When I plug in, the first 3 quadrants each flash but not the fourth. When I purchased the car in October, I purchased a full bumper 2 bumper Ford factory warranty, so I'm hopeful I can get the ring replaced under warranty. I was hesitant to buy the warranty, then last night I had several error codes flash on the display, "Hill start assist unavailable, Traction control not avail; service Advance Trac." Now I'm relieved I got it. I guess the beast needs to go in for service. I'm pretty sure my charge is listed as 100% even though it's only for 10 miles. The display shows each time I park/start what percentage of charge remains. If it charges to 10 and I use 5, it says 50% of charge remains. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never gone online and registered with My Ford Mobile. The dealer mentioned it but didn't explain any benefits of, so I just never got around to it. I'm a procrastinator.
  3. I'm going to have to do some trips where I drive under the most ideal conditions on EV and see if that makes any difference. I guess I expected the car to have an EV range closer to the listed range when its basically like new. It has 27K on it. Thanks for the info!
  4. I'm going to try turning EVERYTHING off in the car and I will repost what the battery reads after an overnight charge. I looked at that kill-a-watt p3, but I have my car plugged into an outside outlet on my house, with the cover and all, the p3 wont physically fit on the outlet. I'm going to look to see if I can find one with a short lead so I can report the KwH. Another question, the lighted charging ring at the on the car, I noticed that the 4th quadrant does not light up. Only 3 of the 4 lights light up then the charge stops. Is that not coming on because the battery wont fully charge under 70 F or does that mean the light went out? Thanks for all the feedback, very helpful!
  5. Understood about the battery range with heat on, etc. But forget driving.- Vehicle charged all night, charge has completed. I unplug the charge cord and without driving anywhere, it has only charged to 9, 10, 11 sometimes 12 miles. It has never once charged to over 13 miles. Is that 'normal'? That's no where close to a 20 mile charge. Is that because it's not 70 degrees outside?
  6. I have a 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium Energi. Im wondering if there is something wrong with the EV Battery system. I live in western washington state, with mild winters and temps averaging about 40-45 F. The battery only charges to 11,12, sometimes 13 miles. (Sometimes only 9 miles). My fusion has very low mileage of 27k. I thought these were supposed to have a 20 mile EV range??? Any advice, thoughts or input appreciated.
