Initial range after charge well below advertised range- 2025 Flash

[jjupi91897]

I purchased a new 2025 Lightning Flash. I love the truck however after charging to 100% the range never is above 260- 270 miles- not the 300-320 that’s advertised. Now, I’m not so naive to think I will actually attain that actual range, but I’m not at all pleased that it never gets even close to the advertised range estimate at 100% charge… by a lot. Temperature during charge was 70-80 degrees. When I charge to 80% it estimates total range of about 225 miles, which extrapolates to the same 260 or so. Does anyone else have this experience and should I press for a new battery?

Also, if you are DC fast charging, always prep the vehicle before charging, by using Google Maps or Apple Maps. I don't recommend using FordPass navigation.

You can get the estimated 300+ mile range in moderate temps and conservative driving at slow speeds in town. But few people consistently drive like that.

I’m one of those few people ;(
