Trip Summary Display Question


Recommended Posts

Here it is from my manual, not formatted very well, I guess I am out of luck.

 

 

Display/Trip

 

Help

Energy Use (Energi only)
Auto EV
(EV range + energy use gauge + climate power gauge + battery gauge + fuel gauge)
EV Now
(EV range + energy use gauge with budget cup + climate power gauge + engine enable + battery gauge + fuel gauge)
EV Later
(EV range + energy use gauge + climate power gauge + battery gauge + fuel gauge)

I have a 2015 Energi and the Trip Summary display, when the car is turned off, does not show number of gallons used.  I thought I remembered seeing the gallons used displayed when people post screen shots of their Trip Summaries.

What does your trip summary show? Can you post a pic of it please?

Thanks. This is a trip that's all EV though...what happens if you make a trip using gas & EV? Then does it show the gallons used? Perhaps it only hides the gallons used when you make an EV only trip. I don't have any pics of the trip summary in our Energi to know what we show. Below is an old pic of the trip summary from my parents' C-Max Energi. It shows 0.0 gallons when driving all EV.

Yep, I can confirm on my 2015 that the display does NOT show gallons used.  My wife's 2014 does.  I could find no way to change in settings to allow this to show gallons used.  Kindof strange they would take that away.

That's a bummer.  I really like knowing how much gas I burned.

 

Ford was already way behind GM for info display and it seems it's getting worse.

What do you mean? The Volt doesn't show MPGe does it? One of the reasons we didn't get a Volt was because of the lack of EV displays compared to the 2013 Fusion Energi. The 2014 & 2015 Fusion are way worse!!

 

Can anyone summarize what display functionality has been removed from '14 and '15 models?  The only ones that I am aware of are:

 

1) 2013: MPGe; 2014-15: MPG only

2) 2013-14: kWh AND Gals. used at end of trip; 2015: Only kWh used at end of trip

 

Are there any other functions missing?  I wonder if these functions could be "re-enabled" if enough petitioning was done by us owners?

I'm going to piggyback off my initial question.  Here is a picture of my Trip 1 display as of today:

I'm pretty sure that EV number should be 1423.2 since I'm still on my initial tank of gas.  Is the thousand digit truncated on everybody's Trip 1? I also assume the kWh should be 1296 not 296.

The following has a lot of assumptions such as a full gas tank at the start.

 

1710.7 miles / 155.6 mpg = 10.99 gallons

14 gallons per tank - 10.99 gallons used = 3.01 gallons left

3.01 / 14 = 0.22 * 100 = 22 % left which matches your gas gauge


Assuming your mpg is really about 40 mpg, 40 * 10.99 gal = 439.6 miles from gasoline

1710.7 miles - 439.6 miles = 1271.1 miles due to electricity

The car gets about 21 miles for about a 5.6 kWh charge of electricity (ignoring charging losses)

1271.1 miles / 21 miles = 60.53 charges

60.53 charges * 5.6 kWh per charge = 338.9 kWh

That is very close to the 296 kWh in your display

It is impossible for me to do an accurate calculation because the charge per mile varies all over the place based on the temperature of the battery and the amount of lead in your right foot.

The 296 kWh number is reasonable.

I calculated the EV distance to be 1271 miles so you are correct that the EV number has dropped the thousands digit.
