How To Maximize EV Range | Ford How-To | Ford

Overview

If you're keen on maximizing the electric range of your Ford plug-in hybrid vehicle, there are several measures you can take. Standard driving etiquette such as gradual acceleration, smooth braking, moderate use of heating and air conditioning, as well as maintaining speed limits are instrumental in achieving optimal electric range. This document highlights these measures and much more. It's especially useful if you're based in Corpus Christi, Portland, Robstown, Aransas Pass, Rockport, Kingsville, Sinton, Port Aransas, Ingleside, or Alice, TX.

Features

Ford plug-in hybrid vehicles are designed with numerous features aimed at conserving energy. One defining feature is the ability to maintain the battery temperature when the vehicle is plugged in. This is highly recommended for electric-only vehicles. Additionally, the vehicles come with a preheating function that can be initiated using your touchscreen or the My Ford Mobile app. Adjusting your departure time and desired cabin temperature enables you to make use of energy from your charging station or home instead of your vehicle's high-voltage battery. These features can be leveraged to maximize your electric range.
