Greetings Ford Fans,
I have a 2022 lightening platinum that has Extended battery but only reports 245 miles at full charge? isnt this supposed to be at least 300 miles? I bought this of course "used" with a couple of thousand miles and did the reset when obtained ownership to avoid previous owners driving habits but 245 still?? Am i missing something that I must do?

You are seeing a real-world range estimate. That is normal.

Appreciate the info and reassurance!

if you have an ER battery pack, and you see your KWH indicator showing 2.5, then you have a battery pack with a general range of 337+ miles. The KWH indicator is the most important data to keep an eye on. Depending on your driving, speed, temperature, weather, stop-n-go traffic, etc., you'll see that number change quite a bit when you first start, for the first 50-100 miles even, until it eventually even out and stays more steady at a final number.

Your ER battery pack is roughly 135kw in size. so, 2.5 miles per kwh means 337+ miles.
If it's VERY COLD when you first start, your guessometer may say something totally different.

Might you be located in a place where temperatures have dropped?

The Guess-o-Meter is not a maximum range indicator:

Don't trust the GOM! Best ways to calculate how far...

In EV forums there are always lots of new threads popping up from first time BEV drivers who are all worried or worked up because their Guess-O-Meter (GOM) is showing much less range than they think it should. This will especially happen in colder weather when the range drops. For new EV owners...
