My wife and I have been occasionally looking at the Acceleration, Deceleration, and Speed scores in her Mach-E and laughing at them. The algorithm seems to be less realistic and its results more random than the one in the Guess-o-Meter.

Since our insurance company told us that they get our annual driving mileage for the Mach-E directly from Ford, while asking us to read and send them the mileage in our other vehicles (including the Lightning), maybe we shouldn't be laughing quite so much.

State of charge went from 69% to 62% for this trip. So 7% of the battery was used (ER, so out of 131kWh), which should be around 9kWh. Based on our outdoor temp (freezing), I would expect a trip score of about 1.5mi/kWh or less. (12.43 mi/9.17 kWh=1.36, which is probably what the actual mi/kWh was)

But the TripEnergyConsumed is 3.57 kWh. Making for 3.48mi/kWh efficiency.
I'm sure it's an issue because of the cold. But the numbers just don't add up. There's nothing to justify that.

Someone in a warmer climate have better data?
Some additional info.
My last charge session was 52kWh. I looked at when the last charge before that was, and then added all the trip kWh usage between the two, and ended up with only 26.7kWh.
My current guess is that the motor EV usage may be 26.7kWh. And the additional 25.3kWh is climate, entertainment and other 12V, etc. (And preparing the cabin for departure once)
So the trip score result is just for the motors. Not the actual kWh drained from the battery for each trip.
Any comments or suggestions on that postulation?
(People in warmer climates (But currently without airco) see a smaller discrepancy between trip kWh usage and actual kWh battery drain?)
