Quick question on the malfunction part of the car. My car sits all day long in a parking lot without any shade. This is South Florida and during middle of summer we encounter few 100 degree F temperature days. Does this mean that car would not even start during these times or it will just stop in the middle of the road?

Great, thank you for spending your time and sharing your knowledge with noob like me. @Billyk24and @Plus 3 Golfer I have few questions/clarification to make. the reason I started researching on this topic because when I bought the car a month ago, it was showing 17 miles on the EV meter. I never paid much attention on KWH and other stuff till I saw a drop to 15 EV miles and I got alarmed. The way I am using the car is to charge it during the middle of the night using 110V power outlet, and use it in the early morning. When I reach work, which is 16 miles away, EV miles shows 0 miles. I leave the car on the parking lot which is not shaded and commute back on hybrid mode. 100% of my commute is in the City with max speed of 50 MPH. 1. If my understanding is correct, Energi battery will always keep some charge to operate as a hybrid vehicle even if EV meter is at Zero. So even if I drive all the EV miles, I am not depleting the HVB fully, and therefore it is ok to use up all the available EV miles before the recharge, is that correct? 2. As I described about my charging pattern, is it ok to charge it all year around up to 2.2 KWH ? or Should I stop charging at all during summer months? What is the temperature cutoff I should look at to make such a decision? 3. The car did not come with original charger, rather it came with a Nissan Leaf charger. Do you think that charger has something to do with the fall of of capacity level? 4. Is it possible to ask dealer to re-balance the battery pack and hope that it would bring back some of the lost capacity? I know I cannot expect a "new battery" performance from a 5 year old car. I am just trying to see if I can get little better performance which will meet my needs. Again, I know this forum is for CMAX Hybrid forum and therefore thank you for all the suggestions and feedback on Energi model. To be frank, I did not even understood the difference between Energi and Hybrid when I purchased it. I will look into forscan app suggested. I wish I did little more research and found you guys before jumping! I never thought this car will be this complicated.

Hello All, Bought a Ford CMAX 2015 and I am getting only 14 miles when driving conservatively on local road. MyFordMobile app shows 4 KWH power used to drive those EV miles. Am I reading this accurately? If so, does this mean that the car battery is left with 4 KWH capacity against 5.5 KWH capacity (for EV miles only) and I should report it to Ford dealer? I live in South Florida, just learning these "water cooling", "air cooling", "battery degradation in high temperature", "not charging the battery during high temperature" etc after I bought the car and those concerns making me worried. ? I am not sure whether taking it to dealer is a worthwhile effort since Ford is very vague about battery warranty. Questions I am trying to get answers on: 1. Should I just use this as a Hybrid vehicle and do not worry about charging it in Florida environment? 2. Should I just take it to dealer and tell him that there is significant loss in capacity? 3. Is there any guideline released from Ford on expected performance from the battery with age and miles driven? Any suggestion, insights, help would be much appreciated.
