We have a 2013 Cmax we got from my parents who don’t drive anymore. We have an electric vehicle that we use a 30amp 240v charge with. Can that be used on the 2013 cmax. Have not been able to find anything on that.

I recently purchased a 25k 2013 C-Max . I'm trying to understand the basics of using the EV. I guess the first question is why does my battery after my all day charge or my all night charge (I charge at home and then I charge at work, my commute is about 33 miles each way)... why do I sometimes get 21miles max, 23miles and this morning it showed 28miles available in EV mode. I would think that the capacity is computer controlled to prevent overcharging? Is 28miles charged going to cause a problem? Is it common for the gas cap to be very delayed in opening (last time I pressed it 3 times, and after 10 seconds I started looking in the owners manual to see what I was doing wrong)... at 15 seconds it popped open and I felt foolish. How common is it to get the Audio Off bug? It happened to me. Btw I've put 2000 miles on the car since I bought it, I love the car, and my current mpg is 69.5.

I just got my CMAX Energi back from a long 19 day stay for repairs. I double checked to make sure my charge profile was set to value charge. I plugged in my car around 5:30pm and I heard the typical latching then everything went to sleep. Fine. After I put the kids to bed I decided to log into myfordmobile to check on my car to see if everything was ok & I was shocked to see that it was at 95% charge! I went in to the garage to physically see my car & couldn't believe what I saw. The dash said it was waiting to charge even though it said it would start the charge at 7:51pm today (when I left the car it said it was waiting to charge & would start the charge at midnight like it always said)...and the vehicle was clearly charging away. I just got my text that the battery is fully charged. It only shows 18 mile range & I swear the charge ring is only lit up 3/4 way (I used to get 25 mile range) but maybe the range is limited because just about every module was removed & replaced over the past 19 days...who knows - anyone else see this bizarro broken behavior with their car???
