Your Ford electric vehicle was designed to ensure your batteries perform even in severe temperatures. This allows the vehicle to maintain its performance both when it is extremely cold and when temperatures are extremely high. Legacy Ford has your guide to prepare your vehicle for the winter weather to ensure you are getting the best range when cold temperatures come to the Corbin area.Â
When temperatures drop below 40 degrees, you may notice a difference in your vehicle's charge time and range. This is due to a consistency change in the electrolyte fluid, changing the way your Ford receives power to use and while charging. But there are steps you can take to ensure your vehicle will still perform at its best!

How To Maximize Electric Ford During Cold Weather
Taking proactive steps to prepare your electric Ford for the cold weather will enhance your driving experience. We suggest the following to help your Ford electric vehicle during cold temperatures:
- When possible, park in an enclosed or covered space such as a garage to help decrease exposure
- Keep your vehicle charging while parked, making sure to turn the heater off
- Remove any snow or debris from the vehicle to avoid excess weight
- Keep your tires at the proper pressure level
When you are driving, we suggest staying at moderate speeds to avoid excess use of power. If your vehicle is equipped with heated steering and seats, these features use less power than the vehicle's heater. Lastly, you can get your Ford electric vehicle ready for a ride by using departure times through the Fordpass app or the sync option on your vehicle's infotainment screen. This will allow the vehicle to heat up while still on charge.Â
