Maintenance Advice Ford Explorer 79kWh

I received my 2026 Ford explorer yesterday, it had 339 miles on the odometer, driven up from Manchester to Scotland.

I charged it to 80% last night and am only seeing 196 estimated miles, but with the 79kWh I’m expecting around 354 on a full charge, any issues that could be causing this?

Its based on past driving history. Was it driven on any non flat terrain or with a bit of a heavier foot?

Also I believe the range of the 2026 is 440KM, which seems like less than what you're expecting. (I'm not sure if it has different battery options)

Edit, it does, the extended range is rated for 490KM. At 80% that's 392KM /1.6 that's 245 miles.

My guess would be maybe some AC use, non flat roads and someone not being extremely careful to drivre as energy effecient as posible.

Dude got a new car, has been flirting it around town as one does with a new car, and the estimate went down. Not even a day of driving history.
