2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD. Can I know the charge left in the main battery?

[Frenchy]

I know about the small gauge on the left side of the dash board which indicates how much of the engine or of the battery is used to propel the pickup and it also shows me when the battery is recharged while braking or driving downhill but does it also indicate the charge left in the main battery?
Mine seems to never change.
Thank you.

Sorry Bert, No it does not.
The high voltage battery is so small. It's constantly operating between a drain and a charge.
It is very rarely ever static. It would be like watching a ping pong game of numbers back and forth.

If it's like the 22-24 Mavericks the battery status is only available on the Lariat. It was visible in the settings on the infotainment screen.

You can read the information you want from the ODBII data port but you'll need to buy a wire or wireless reader.

I use a wired version.

By seeing and learning what is going on internally you will get at least 5 MPG better results. If you care to. It does not change anything in the truck. But it can teach the driver a lot.

I live in a mild climate and that for sure helps.

But I can get 50+ MPG most days of the week in varied conditions.

In large part because I have more gauges and I can optimize my driving.
The PERSON has way more affect on fuel use than most assume.

Different days, consistent results.

No it does not.

For Glen

U.S. house members are getting on board.

I'm going to take you back to the Sunshine Protection Act of 2023.
Well over 100,000 petition signatures passed the house and we're still changing clocks in a majority of the country.
Let's not forget NHTSA is going to have input.
I don't think there's going to be a snowballs chance in hell of reducing the brightness of headlights to the old yellow halogen days.
We will see with or without glasses.

Not available on the 25 Lariat, not that I've found yet anyway.

The power flow screen doesn't show battery charge percentage.

How knowing what happens with your battery improve your gas mileage . So far my mpg has been quite disappointing

Winter mileage (lower temps) is worse than summer mileage. The HV batteries are not as efficient in lower temps which results in the need to charge more often via the ICE. I usually get around 38 mpg in the winter and about 42 in the summer on my '23 Lariat.

I never yet got in 30. Not much better than my grand Caravan that I replaced just because of the mpg.
Yesterday on the freeway I got 27 mpg. My grand Caravan was just about the same
Did anyone tried to connect a wireless OBD II to sync 4?

Someone should be able to get in a 2025 AWD Hybrid, drive it normally, and achieve 37mpg.

We cannot do that. We cannot even get close to that.

What is "Normally" to you?
Your area of the country.
Weather, road conditions, traffic, elevation, hills or mountains, grade of fuel, drive mode selected.

Hybrid - grade of fuel does not matter.

I live in one of the flattest parts of the country - around 850 ft above sea level - elevation not a problem.

I am not doing anything that would hamper fuel economy, only improve it - and i cannot get above 31.5mpg per tank.

Driving the speed limit - 65 or 70mph should yield 37mpg per EPA. It gets about 28-29mpg.

Wildly off.
