Today I drove a 4 mile round trip, started at 66% and ended up at 60%. The truck showed 3.6 m/kWh. I didn't look at the SoC in the truck because it's only available on the calm screen. Instead I noted the starting charge state in the app this morning before driving.

I've noticed this a couple times when charging for long periods on 120v and not using the truck for a day or so.

There has never been any unusual battery calculation otherwise, like highway driving on trips so this is more of a curiosity than a concern. The truck is also known to not have phantom drain afaik.

Anyone else?

“This trip” data is known to be inaccurate and inconsistent. FordPass is worse.

Ah, it would make sense that the app misreported the SoC.

No battery weirdness while actually driving the truck. Wish they'd put charge % on the normal screen already. That would make it a lot easier to know for sure.

I use the quiet screen. It shows SoC %.
Most of what’s on the “loud” screen is just fluff, anyway.
