Nrthamricanskum Posted February 26, 2015 at 09:11 PM Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 at 09:11 PM Hello, just bought a 2015 energi and I noticed yesterday and today, that after having it plugged in over night(8+ hours) that is says fully charged at 17mi. Is this normal or some setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted February 26, 2015 at 09:19 PM Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 at 09:19 PM It is an estimate based on many factors such as the temperature, how the car has been previously driven, whether the heater is turned on or not. A cold battery has less capability than a warm battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthamricanskum Posted February 26, 2015 at 09:26 PM Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 at 09:26 PM Ok. Thank you. Would setting a go time maybe take it to full charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted February 26, 2015 at 09:35 PM Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 at 09:35 PM (edited) You are at full charge. How far you can go on a full charge is an estimate.A GO time will warm the cabin and use less power for heat after you leave. The car has to learn how you drive the car to be able to give an estimate that matches your driving style.

meyersnole Posted February 27, 2015 at 03:29 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 03:29 AM Thank you. Completely understand now. New to the electric car game, going to take a while get it all in. You might want to check out some of the information in this site with the search. On the topic of range and what to expect I would start here: Lot of good information in this thread (Cold Weather Observations): http://www.fordfusio...r-observations/ and (Variability in # of miles a full charge produces?): http://www.fordfusio...only#entry14185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybridbear Posted March 2, 2015 at 02:59 PM Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 at 02:59 PM (edited) SSM 44918 - 2012-2015 Focus Electric, 2013-2015 C-MAX Energi, 2013-2015 Fusion Energi - EV Range Display Variance After Charging The EV Range being displayed after fully charging a 2012-2015 Focus Electric, 2013-2015 C-MAX Energi or 2013-2015 Fusion Energi may vary after each charging event. A variation of EV range does not indicate a battery or charging concern. EV range is similar to the Distance To Empty indication on a gasoline vehicle and the EV range will vary with vehicle operating conditions. Conditions that impact EV driving range include: cooler outside temperature, terrain, driving style, city or highway driving, tire pressure, and use of accessories. Using the cabin heater and A/C, which are electric, will also decrease EV range. To temporarily remove the impact of driving/climate history, reset the Lifetime Summary or Driving History by using the Settings menu on the left side of the instrument cluster, under Display.
