Won’t charge up to 300+ miles

[Pioneer74]

I'm going through that now. I drove around 60 miles today, mainly on 55 mph highways achieving around 1.5 to 1.6 mpk. Returned home and charged to 80% and ended with 161 miles to empty.
After some calculations, that came out to be pretty accurate. 80% of 131 = 104.8 kwh.
Multiple that by 1.5 & 1.6 comes to 157.2 &
167.68 miles to empty.

If your DTE is still accurate, you must not have got the update yet that "fixes" it.

I see plenty of people on youtube charging their extended battery 320 to 326 miles. I only have 9K miles and have never been able to charge to 305 miles. I know it is only a guess o meter but when you see a number charging to over 320 miles and you can't even after resetting the thing, something is wrong.

What is your miles per kWh?

Between 1.8 and 3

Just confirming, did you reset the following?
Settings > Vehicle > Vehicle Driving History

I wouldn't worry about a 'range' and instead focus on your current efficiency for whatever driving you're doing. With a few exceptions, the actual capacity of your battery has not changed. But to your question, I have seen my GoM show as high as 370 and I have achieved greater than that from a full charge tracking it on my odometer.

This is a recent example from 2/29 pre departure with fully conditioned battery at 100% preparing for the Jersey road trip. I had not reset my vehicle driving history and won't until 3/31 after I pull my winter quarterly performance data, I'm not certain I'm shooting myself in the foot by resetting it, ie. the history might have the ability to run a full driving season and the time & temp factoring with my driving style would be lost erasing it quarterly. I'll try and remember to post a snap shot at the end of the month.

I curse this thread, I want my accurate range numbers back.

I want to be able to turn off the GOM!

this is actually the correct answer.
Once charged to 100%, it will always show you over 300mi range, the reset will clear out calculations based on temperature and recent history

Oh yes, a few times. I am slow charging now and am at 93% with 286 miles showing. Thats 304 Miles at 100%. It's like this every time???

Are you actually charging to 100% or just extrapolating what 100% should be?

I ask because I have noticed when I do charge to 100% to balance the cells, those last 1-2% on the meter makes a huge huge difference, then from car scanner it appears Ford plays a little magic as 100% is more like 102% as it deep charges into a buffer zone a little when balancing.

one thing i love about my SR is i round the battery capacity to 100 and that makes the math easy.

It’s not that you can’t charge to 300 miles. It’s that you can’t charge to a 300 mile estimate, which is a completely different thing.
You’d think the two would have a lot in common, but in reality, that’s not true most of the time. I can lose 20 or 30 miles of estimated range simply by hopping on the interstate on my way home for 10 minutes, instead of the city roads I usually take.

The next day *POOF* I’ve “lost” 30 miles of range.
But what have I really lost?

Nothing
