For lightning 2024
So I got a new 2024 lightning couple weeks ago. I was only charging up to 90% but always noticed on the range was well below what I expected by 10 or 15%. I know that's just an estimate but I would reset my My driving history and that wouldn't help the range go up at all. I was also driving around City so it was averaging 2.4 to 2.5 kW per hour.
I hooked up an OBD and fully charged my truck and only got a maximum of 125 of usable energy. I was expecting 131. It's only six off but that's still 4.5% or maybe 10+ miles on a road trip.
Do you guys get only 125kw? more or less?
I also noticed that the entire battery pack charged to 94%. I was expecting that to be around 92 if you divide 131/143
I have a Ford service appointment next week for a bed liner. Is this something I should bring up?

Maybe the ‘24s have a smaller battery pack?
What did your window sticker say?

Hmmm…
the ‘24s could still have a smaller battery pack if you divide 125.15 by 94.62% you get 132.26? Maybe with the single onboard charger they decided they didn’t need as much overhead? I am certainly no battery expert would be a question maybe @MickeyAO could answer?

I looked under the truck and there's a sticker that shows it has the same as the 23' 143 KW hours of total size.

This is what I've typically been getting with my truck 23ER with Car Scanner. 122-127KwH at 100% SOC Display. Not sure how accurate it is though.
