Plan Charging Stops: Plan your charging stops strategically before starting your journey. Identify fast-charging stations along your route to minimize downtime and maintain seamless travel. 

Monitor Battery Levels: Stay informed about your Ford EV’s battery levels through the vehicle’s dashboard or mobile app. Proactively plan charging sessions based on your driving habits and upcoming trips. 

Utilize Preconditioning: Take advantage of your Ford EV’s preconditioning feature, which optimizes battery temperature for fast charging. This ensures maximum efficiency and prolongs battery life. 

Practice Efficient Charging: When using fast-charging stations, aim to charge your Ford EV to approximately 80% capacity. Charging beyond this point can decrease efficiency and contribute to battery degradation.
