Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this and may have any insight.

Last night I was running low on battery and stopped by a Electirfy America charger and topped up with 15KWH. Charger was pushing peak of around 175KW and the charge took about 7 mins.

When driving home after my range dropped to about 25 miles by the time I got home. The battery temp indicator got to the 3/4 hash mark. I was going about 85 on a hilly freeway, but normally I don't see any increased battery heat when I regularly drive this road. my available power dropped, but this seemed normal as the range was low. Outside air temp was 28 F. When I got home I plugged into my level 2 charger to charge overnight.

This morning when I went to drive away my charge was at 77% and I had a stated 178 mile range. Normally at 80% (where I have my charge limit) I am around 220-230 mile range. Additionally, my accelerator is limited to about 60%. I tried the Comcast approach, turn it fully off and back on, but everything remained as the same with lower range and limited acceleration power.

I also noticed that an update, 23-PUO7722-DC-CHG3, that changed some DC charging installed overnight.

Anyone had a similar thing happen and how did you resolve it?

Check the power screen to see if only one drive unit is being powered. A lot of trucks have had this happen after an update and it resets itself with a key cycle.

just went and checked and it looks like the power is fully back after a lock/unlock cycle. Range is still garbage but I guess that will adjust as I drive a bit. Thanks for the help @Pioneer74

“Guess o meter” - yea - I’m 2000 miles into the new truck and have to agree with your assessment there.
