PHEV Battery charge depleting very quickly

Does anyone know if this is something wrong? My PHEV battery charges fine, says it has 29 miles of charge, I drove 2 miles and it went down to 17. It’s 10 degrees outside so not particularly cold. It does this pretty much all the time, not sure about warmer temps yet. Warranty runs out in April so I am wondering if it’s faulty… thanks

So I took my car to Ford for them to investigate. They said that it needs several updates, these were carried out and now my reported range has gone up and (fingers crossed) seems to be behaving much better and as expected. I still get the range drop off as you would expect in cold weather but nowhere near as much and it seems to report the range far better than it did before. Worth doing if anyone else has the problem. 👍👍
