mczajka Posted April 3, 2013 at 03:52 PM Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 at 03:52 PM I've had 25. How about you? Can't say that I actually got 25 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionEnergi Posted April 3, 2013 at 05:20 PM Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 at 05:20 PM Mine showed 23 miles available this morning, but I have not had the car a full 24 hours yet. I will keep you posted once I test out the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionEnergi Posted April 3, 2013 at 10:00 PM Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 at 10:00 PM (edited) Today it shows 24 miles, I have now had the vehicle just over 24 hours. I can't seem to get it to show with my photo. Edited April 4, 2013 at 05:08 PM by FusionEnergi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mczajka Posted April 4, 2013 at 11:49 AM Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 at 11:49 AM My friend also asked me if a fully charged car sits for a while (a few days, a week/), does it lose range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All rechargeable batteries are subject to self discharge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyersnole Posted April 5, 2013 at 01:34 AM Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 at 01:34 AM It would have to lose range. All rechargeable batteries are subject to self discharge. I also posted about losing range in the parking lot at work and figured out that another thing that will kill the range is that the cooling/heating system on the battery will run to keep the temp regulated.

Energized Posted April 5, 2013 at 01:26 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 at 01:26 PM Mine is at 27 miles this morning. 25 is more typical for me. The number goes down immediately if I turn the climate control on. When I was charging yesterday at a store, the MyFord Mobile app showed I would have 31 miles if I kept charging to full. I stopped charging after 30 mins so didn't get to see if it really made it to 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47Minutes Posted April 5, 2013 at 10:06 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 at 10:06 PM Yesterday morning I turned it on to see 23 miles. My commute in to work, sans climate control, was 22.8 EV miles and 2.6 Regen miles. The gauge showed I had 1 mile of range left when I parked. I wish every morning was that good.

GBRYD Posted April 5, 2013 at 11:08 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 at 11:08 PM When I plug in on 110 overnight it says 21 miles in the morning. Immediately after I unplug it goes down to 17/18 or 19 miles. Does anyone else's battery do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rprobst Posted April 5, 2013 at 11:27 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 at 11:27 PM In the first couple of days, at fully charged it read 19. Then it went up to say 20 at start when charged overnight. Now it says 21 at start, but then slides down to 19 pretty quickly. Never seen it go down to 17 quickly, but it seems to be changing around.

The number is basically a prediction of how much range you have based on recent driving habits and current load demands, such as the climate control.

Scooter80 Posted April 6, 2013 at 12:50 AM Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 at 12:50 AM Yeah, when I hop in to drive, mine always drops 2 miles or so pretty quickly (much quicker than 2 or 3 miles anyways). I chalk it up to the cold weather, climate being on, and the car predicting my wife's lead-foot as she is the primary driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBRYD Posted April 6, 2013 at 06:14 PM Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 at 06:14 PM Today mine read 16 miles. Then as sugested turn off the climate control and it instantly poped up to 20 miles. Thanks for the info. Really like this site. Such a new product, everyones input is apreciated. Love my Fusion will post pics soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energized Posted April 6, 2013 at 09:06 PM Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 at 09:06 PM I had 31 miles showing today after using a level 2 charger. As soon as I started the car and turned on the climate control and radio etc, it dropped to 21, then it went back up to 24 while driving. After driving 9 miles in EV Now mode, it showed 15 mi remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rprobst Posted April 7, 2013 at 03:05 PM Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 at 03:05 PM Yesterday mine started up at 23. A new all-time high. After 2 miles in EV mode, it read 20. So, no sudden unexplained drop this time. The car is still learning, and I am still learning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energized Posted April 8, 2013 at 02:21 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 at 02:21 AM I had 37 miles today. I think that is probably the maximum. I think the system used some recent low speed, short distance trips w/o climate control to predict the 37 miles. GBRYD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the system used some recent low speed, short distance trips w/o climate control to predict the 37 miles. That is insane, I think that is the EPA range on a first year Volt (twice the battery capacity). I regularly see 22 or 21, and it seems fairly accurate.

yojroz Posted April 8, 2013 at 05:05 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 at 05:05 AM I average between 21-24 but was shocked today to see 30! Very exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBRYD Posted April 8, 2013 at 06:39 PM Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 at 06:39 PM Today when I walked into the garage the light around the plug (120) was still lit. I know the light turns off after a full charge. At least it has every day since I purchased her. It had 16 miles on for the reading. After reading all of your excellent miles on a full charge, I'm wondering if I am one of the very few with a faulty charger or battery or something? I think I need to take it in to the ford dealler. Will let all know if I find out anything. I ordered a GE 30 amp level 2 EV charger. hoping this will help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionEnergi Posted April 8, 2013 at 09:32 PM Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 at 09:32 PM (edited) Today I made a few short trips. Drove 22 miles total, when I got home the battery showed 5 EV miles still available. I got 99% Regen, 164 mpge and i didnt drive over 55mph. Most of the trip was in stop and go traffic. Speed was mostly around 35-40 mph. I would love to see a photo of someone showing a EV range available in the 30s.

Energized Posted April 9, 2013 at 01:41 AM Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 at 01:41 AM (edited) Don't attempt this at home lol. This isn't a realistic range for normal driving, I was just trying to find the upper limit.

If you're wondering if your battery is completely charged, you can go into the touchscreen and press the button new the center, bottom, the one with the leaf coming out of the road. On the upper right portion of the settings screen the display will indicate the % of charge the battery is currently, along with the amount of time to reach the full charge at 110V and 220 V. I usually use my phone to check the state of charge. As for the 16 miles of indicated range, I wouldn't be too concerned, that is well within the normal "up to 21 miles" range. The number displayed is just a predicted range based on how the car has been driven recently, outside air temp, and what loads were being used, i.e. lights, A/C, heater, radio.

I ordered a GE 30 amp level 2 EV charger. hoping this will help?Mine is exactly the same, usually predicts (fairly accurately, 16/17 miles), I have a stretch on Interstate to get to my office, which kills it, plus I'm usually using climate control in the "auto" setting. I think its working as intended, I'll try a back roads/climate off commute this morning and see if I can stretch it a bit. I think both plugs 120/240 do the same thing (supply AC to the car and the car then charges battery), once car tells the plug controller its full, it'll stop supplying, The level 2 only gets this job done more quickly.

rogflash Posted April 9, 2013 at 03:20 PM Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 at 03:20 PM I'll try a back roads/climate off commute this morning and see if I can stretch it a bit. Made a round trip to my office and back with climate control off (beautiful 73' day here in NC), avoiding Interstate and with heavy use of the ecco adaptive cruise control, I arrived back home with and estimated 7 miles left in EV mode. (total trip was 21.4). I really didn't alter my driving habits, too much other than trying to milk the regen breaks and seeing how many 100% returns I could get. I'm guessing I could get close to 30 miles on a charge. On a normal trip there and back I usually get switched over to hybrid mode with about 2-3 miles to go. Then again I've only had the car for one week and still have a lot of the driving habits formed by my former Mustang GT. I wish "my for mobile" would log trip data, I'd love to track improvements, etc in driving/economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
