full charge capacity

[beepyou]

We have had our fusion energi for about 1 month. The car is usually charged at home using 120V wall plug and occasionally charged outside using 240V chargers.

 

Yesterday, I had a completely depleted battery and performed a full charge using a chargepointe 240V charger. The charging summary showed the car only accepted 6.63 kwh worth of electricity. This is strange because at the same charging station about 3 weeks ago, I had a charge that drew 7.1 kwh worth of battery. 

 

Is the battery dying already? Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Did you use up all the hybrid battery also?  That's when it usually takes 7 kwh.

Question - how do you tell the amount used for the charge?  I ask since after draining the battery yesterday, coming home in hybrid mode until going to EV+ mode, it took only 1 hour, 4 minutes to charge using my home L2 charger.  Don't see how that is possible...

Solved! Finished at 2:04 but with the time change, was reported as 1:04. System was not slart enough to account for this when it reported total charging time.

Also, you need to make sure you are comparing the same charge amounts. You have a 7.6 kwh of battery charge available at full, some of that is set aside for 'hybrid' mode. There is a float in that window so you when you pull in (or on MFM) see that amount of charge remaining.
