Low electric range on 2024 escape phev... anyone else?

just got a 2024 escape phev and not happy with the electric range. it’s always plugged into a 110v in the garage, but even at 100% charge, it only shows 38 km. and yeah, that number seems real because a 25 km trip eats up almost the whole battery. dealer is no help—took my money and doesn’t care now. manual says i should be getting 60 km. anyone else seeing the same thing?

mine was great for the first two months—getting the full 61 km. then boom, dropped to 32 km and has stayed there. dealer says it’s ‘the weather’ but i’ve tested with no ac, no heat, and it’s always plugged in. seems like bs.

@Lennox
same here. got 56 km at first, now lucky if i hit 33. super annoying.

@Lennox
you need to get it documented with your dealer. warranty should cover this if it’s a real issue.

got mine in june. first it was 67 km on a full charge, now down to 43 km. haven’t even been using heat or ac. dealer visit incoming…

do you actually trust the dealer will do anything? lol. my 2023 has been dropping range too and they just give me the runaround.

bought mine in october, was getting 37 miles (so like 60 km) for two weeks. then it dropped to 28 miles and never recovered, even on warm days. ford needs to stop pretending this is normal.

have you called ford directly? dealership service reps are useless for this kinda thing.

picked up my 2024 phev this month and getting only 38-40 km per charge, temps have been mild (3-12c). weird thing is, i’ve read that the 2023-24 models might have a different battery than earlier versions.

@Devin
climate control might be draining your range. try turning off auto mode and manually adjusting fan speed. i’ve been tracking my 2022 and winter always messes with range.

@Devin
that’s interesting. so the newer models are worse? thought they were supposed to improve, not the other way around.

just got mine and max capacity is showing 33 km. took it to the dealer within a week of owning it… this can’t be normal right?

that’s crazy low for a new one. definitely sounds like a defect.
