Remote Start

Ford's remote start feature on its electric vehicles (EVs) offers added convenience and functionality. Accessible through the FordPass app or key fob, remote start allows owners to start their vehicle from a distance, ideal for warming up or cooling the cabin before entering. This feature is particularly useful in extreme weather, as it pre-conditions the cabin and can help optimize battery performance in cold temperatures, improving range and efficiency. Additionally, Ford EV owners can check the vehicle's status, such as battery charge level, remotely. By incorporating remote start, Ford enhances the overall EV ownership experience, combining comfort, efficiency, and advanced connectivity to meet the needs of modern drivers.


Range Estimation

The range of your Ford electric vehicle (EV) indicates how far you can drive before needing to recharge. It is based on the amount of energy currently stored in your vehicle's battery and your overall energy consumption. Think of the range as the “fuel gauge” for electric vehicles.

You can check your EV range using the Range Display behind your steering wheel. Plus, thanks to the Intelligent Range feature, you can rest easy knowing your vehicle is doing the complex calculations to update your EV range in real time.

Factors That Impact EV Range

The range of your Ford electric vehicle is influenced by several factors. These include:

  • The kilowatt-hours (kWh) size of your battery pack. Generally, the higher the kWh, the higher the range.
  • Weight of the vehicle, including cargo and towing.
  • Climate and temperature.
  • Driving terrain (flat vs. hilly).
  • Other factors such as acceleration, driving speed, and hard stops.

Tips for Maximizing EV Range

To get the most out of your Ford electric vehicle's range, consider the following tips:

  • Maintain a regular, daily charging routine.
  • Practice eco-driving to help get the most out of your range all year round, such as watching your speed, minimizing hard accelerations, and maximizing your regenerative braking. Visit This Page for more eco-driving techniques.
  • Be mindful of how much you are towing or hauling as adding weight to your payload can reduce range.
  • Precondition** your vehicle to:
    • Pre-cool your cabin and battery during summer (especially when the outside temperature reaches over 84°).
    • Pre-heat your cabin and battery when it’s cold outside (especially when the outside temperature dips below 39.2°).
  • Use air conditioning and heat in moderation.
  • Schedule service for help with any outstanding vehicle issues.
  • Only take advantage of DC fast-charging when you really need it (for example, road trips or more urgent on-the-go needs).

  • Does not require the installation of additional charging equipment.
  • Can deliver 2 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging*.
  • Most often found at home, but sometimes used at workplaces.
Example Image

Level 2

  • Provides charging through a 240V residential AC plug, or a 208V AC commercial plug.
  • Requires installation of additional charging equipment, such as a Ford Connected Charge Station.
  • Can deliver 10 to 20 miles of range per hour of charging*.
  • Can be found at home, workplaces, and public charging.
Example Image

Level 3 or DC Fast Charging

  • Provides charging through a 480V AC plug.
  • Requires highly specialized, high-powered equipment, as well as special equipment on the vehicle.
  • Can deliver 60 to 80 miles of range in 20 minutes of charging*.
  • Most often found at public charging stations.

Route Planning

Where can I find EV Trip Planner and what can I use this feature for?

EV Trip Planner will suggest a route to your destination that includes any necessary recharging stops.
Using the FordPass app, set your destination in the 'map' feature and the system will find the best available route. FordPass calculates your vehicle's remaining estimated range and the distance of your journey, then suggests places to recharge along the way. The estimated journey time will take any charging stops into account.
