Thank you for this! I didn’t understand why, after the electric portion of the battery was depleted (and 0 E miles remained), a new half-full battery would slide in, replacing the empty one. I thought it was a fault. (None of the Ford mechanics knew why, either!)

The range will vary according to how you drive, brake, whether or not you are using the heat or air conditioning, and anything else that uses energy. It can give you guidance on one of the displays as to how you are braking and accelerating to conserve energy. That’s part of what makes these cars fun to drive – it’s a challenge and you will get better at it as you go along. Interestingly, once I got my snow tires off and got the “regular” tires put back on, my range increased 5 to 7 miles per charge. I now get around 32 pure battery miles, when it was averaging around 25 before. Odd, but I’m not complaining!

The wrench and the engine light came on today and I only have 13,500 miles on my 2019 Ford Energi. It’s been working absolutely flawlessly up to now - other than an annoying issue where the battery icon shows as being half full after it’s depleted (anyone else have this issue?). I just got gas (perhaps the car was mad about that; I don’t do it often!), pulled it in our garage, and noticed the wrench and engine lights were on - first for any warnings. I don’t even know if it’s still under warranty-I suppose it is? Perhaps there’s a recall on this issue by now. Other than that it works absolutely perfectly, but I can’t afford to be stranded out in the boonies.
