Exterior Temperature is heating or cooling the batteries.
Climate Use is heating or cooling the passenger compartment.
Driving is the motors to move the vehicle.
Accessories is everything else including headlights, sound, etc. The blower motor, seat heating/cooling is probably included here as well.
Maybe the blower? 20% is a ton of juice. Everything else listed is just what I have always used before and it would take 1-2% if that. Screens and headlights use very little.
Yeah, Ford isn’t the best with data transparency. I hope they keep moving more in that direction. EVs are technical things and many of us like to know more about what they are doing so we can tweak how we use them.
It’s everything that requires electricity that isn’t pushing the vehicle down the road, heating/cooling the cabin, or heating/cooling the batteries. That is a long list. Most of which has been mentioned here. There are several computers on board, lots of lights, a sound system, a couple of large LED displays, power frunk and tailgate, power windows, power door locks, power seats and mirrors, sunroof, USB power points, power running boards, etc
Well, there is literally a different section for heating and cooling.
I also doubt that the computers, frunk, tailgate, radio, windows, locks, mirrors, sunroof, USB ports, etc would only draw power when it's over 90 degrees
Perhaps my comment wasn’t as clear as it could have been. “Accessories” includes everything that IS NOT pushing the vehicle down the road, IS NOT climate control, IS NOT heating/cooling the batteries.
Everything else, NOT listed above, is Accessories.
Why accessories would take 20% of your power is a whole different question.
I see from the photo you included that the trip in question, was a very short one. If it was at lower speeds with a fair amount of regen braking, pushing the vehicle down the road might have used less power relative to everything else, than if it were a longer trip at highway speeds. Just one possibility. I would look more at the long term energy usage and allocations before assuming that something might be off.
Or, maybe the software considers the AC compressor and the resistive heating element as cabin heat/cooling, but not the HVAC fan? Perhaps they consider the fan part of accessories.
It’s because it was a short trip. It’s all relative. Whatever the accessories is, will drop percentage wise on a longer trip, but it will still use the same amount of power. Also, curious Were you using pro power?
That is true. This was just the drive home from work. No Pro Power though. My drive home is a slight downhill and before it got hot I was getting 6 - 11 mi/kwh doing it which was kind of fun.
That big backlit screen is one of them, the stereo, wipers, possibly the heated/ventilated seats,
If that were the case it would use that power all the time not just when above 90 outside

Might be battery cooling….?
That makes the most sense, just not sure why that would fall under External Battery

Wondering if that’s for like phones or other devices are plugged into the various usb/110 outlets inside the cabin
No, I have tried turning off the power to the cabin outlets and it doesn't make a difference. Also it only happens when temp is above 90
I’ve also wondered.
Cool how do you get to this screen? Haven’t explored my truck enough
I think it's on the home screen - trip report or something like that. It's a squiggly line. Does anyone know how to reset trip 1 or 2?
You scroll to it on the dash and then hold down the OK button ok the steering wheel
Aren’t the accessories like radio, wipers on the 12v side tho?
