ltravisjr Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Hi all. I am a fairly new owner of a C-Max 2017 Energi, which I bought in December last year. Love the car and even though the battery only charges to 3.5kWh, I can live with it given its 5 years old on purchase. Now that the weather is finally warming up I am looking forward to seeing how the battery might respond to better temperatures. I did have a question though. At the end of my trips, I always get a mileage per charge log which also gives three bar scales for "driving style", "climate control", and "outside air/other" and how they help or hurt the mileage. Through the winter the driving style and climate control were always slightly green (I did not use the heater except in ICE mode). However, the "outside air/other" bar was always a very long orange, which I attributed to very cold winter temperatures. However, this week the lows have been in the 40's and the highs in the 70's - and the "outside air/other" bar *still* shows a long orange after my trips. I would doubt it would be outside air causing the orange so what could this be? Would the simple fact that the battery has degraded to hold less charge cause that reading? Or could there be something else causing it that suggests I should have someone check it out? I would love some advice. I have looked all over the manuals and online but can't find any discussion of this particular charge mileage screen with the three bars. Any ideas? (and nice to meet all of you!) -LT Edited March 16, 2022 by ltravisjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
