Miles driven electric vs ICE statistic?

[SP1966]

Is there anyway to see the total miles driven electric versus ICE other than just at the end of each trip? The car is obviously tracking that, but I don't see any way access it.

My Lariat Lux has three ways it keeps track of miles. Current Trip, Trip 1 and Trip 2. Current Trip resets every time you turn the truck off. I let Trip 2 run as a way to keep track (currently running about 25% electric miles) of total miles. Trip 1 I reset at every gas refill.

Kind of a dumb point for me to make, but it occurs to me that there are zero miles driven electric in a Maverick hybrid, because it is not a PHEV. There are only miles driven by gasoline. Even battery mode is indirectly gasoline, since every electron used in a Maverick hybrid is originally derived from gasoline. That includes regenerative braking, if the Maverick hybrid has that (I hope it does).

OP, don't interpret this as me trolling you. Not my intent. I was just reflecting on the thread and that thought popped into my mind. A hybrid uses gasoline more efficiently, but in the end it's still all gasoline.

On many of my short to mid-range trips I'm seeing as much as 75% or more of the drive is on electric only. Yes, without the ICE to get it moving to begin with there would be no regenerative power, but there is very much a difference between running in hybrid mode, battery plus gas, and running on electric alone. I'm finding that I can run on electric for a bit, let off the gas and let it regenerate, then go again without stopping or slowing much, still electric only.

It tells me at the end of each trip how far I traveled, and how much was on electric, so it should be able to tell me how many of the total miles driven were electric only. I'm sure it's tracking that info in order to determine when the oil needs changing. I'd just like access to it out of curiosity more than anything else.

About 1/3

Might need the dash from the XLT Lux/Lariat trim to see this.
Could be a way to enable with ForScan in the lower trims??

 

[Eldrick1]

A bit over 60% electric
Also using Trip 2 for this

I think it’s Lariat only. My XLT does not.

Like mentioned above, maybe it's something the wizards can figure out for all trims through Forscan?

Appears that 6.5" productivity screen you can only get this on XLT if you add FX4.

..I'd just like access to it out of curiosity more than anything else.

On my XL, it just shows how many miles electric and how many ICE after each trip, when I power off the vehicle. Based on a SWAG, mine is probably about 50% each, for most of the trips I make..

This is the ONLY feature I don't have in my XLT that I wish I had. Cumulative electric miles. No built-in way to save that info. Only trips. Here's an example:

And because we LOVE to split hairs, here's some hair splitting...

You CAN get pure electric miles.
Have someone pull you up a hill, then drive down. The other guy paid for the gas on the uphill, not you.

While the Ecoboost could equally get a free ride on the uphill, regenerating on the way down would be a little tricky.

I think you may be misunderstanding hybrids. When I leave for work (4.2 miles) the first 2 miles out of my garage my ICE engine does not even turn on since battery power is on and it is a downhill/level for those first 2 miles. In down hill coasting areas the hybrid makes very significant regenerative power back into the battery. My to work route is 3.1 miles WITHOUT the ICE even turning on. ..1.1 more of those miles are uphill, red lights and level areas when the ICE comes on as the battery is being recharged. In the hybrid the dash green bar and engine sound tells you when the ICE turns on.

Bought the Hybrid 790 miles away from home across the Blue Ridge Parkway and averaged 55.2 mpg home due to mountain range I was traveling (overall downhill). First 20,310 miles I'm still averaging 41-43 mpg, and not really trying.

Cross country trip to Montana (4,000 miles) last summer I stayed at 80 mph on cruise control and the mpg dropped to 35-36 mpg, all ICE.

Bottomline is the battery in the Hybrid is a very small battery that can propel the Maverick a few hundred yards down the road, and when it needs regenerating the ICE comes on and it can regenerate electricity back to the battery in a few minutes...adding back the propelling power. From 30-50 mph the Hybrid can coast for what feels like a 1/2 mile with no ICE or battery...but is recharging the battery when coasting.

The Hybrid really shines when you are in a hilly area that allows coasting for regeneration of electricity. They both work at the same time. For me the bottom line is stopping for gasoline once a month and getting 510-550 miles from a tank of gas...almost double what my EcoBoost was getting.

Much of the electricity from the hybrid battery comes from regenerative coasting or regenerative braking. That is energy that would not be captured in an ICE only vehicle, so it is "free" energy that would normally be lost as heat released to the atmosphere.
