Map your EV route

 

The Ford EV Trip Planner simulates your journey, including any charging stops, to give you the most time-efficient route and a preview of travelling with an EV.

Regenerative braking

All Ford electric and hybrid vehicles use regenerative braking technology. The system captures energy that’s usually lost when braking and feeds it back to the battery, helping to maximise range.

 

Heat pump

An optional extra on selected Ford EVs, a heat pump heats your EV’s interior more efficiently than using just the battery, so your range improves in cold weather.

 

Dynamic EV route planning

Ford SYNC™ plans your route based on current and forecasted battery levels, suggesting the most convenient charging stops if needed.

 

How temperature affects range

Driving your EV in hot or cold weather can impact the range you get from the battery. In temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C, you may notice a significant reduction in range, which is completely normal. This is due to the battery cell chemistry, which affects energy availability, especially in the cold.

 

Maximising range

To help manage the effects of extreme weather, consider pre-conditioning your car while it's still plugged in, and use features such as the heated seats instead of the cabin heater to conserve energy. With these strategies, you can optimise your EV's performance in any weather.

 

Precondition the interior

Heat or cool your vehicle interior using electricity from the charger while it's still plugged in, instead of from the batteryHybrid and electric Range2. This limits battery use when you're on the go, reducing the impact on your driving range.
