Electric Vehicle Performance in Cold Climates

We know South Dakota winters can be brutal, therefore it’s natural to wonder how EVs perform in freezing temperatures. Ford rigorously tests their EVs in cold-weather conditions. They feature battery preconditioning technology to optimize range and performance even when it’s below zero. Plus, regenerative braking can help improve range when driving through hilly terrain like Spearfish Canyon or Needles Highway.

What About Range?

From daily drives to weekend getaways, you’re good to go.

  • Mustang Mach-E offers up to 312 miles of range.
  • F-150 Lightning can achieve up to 320 miles, depending on configuration.
  • Plug-in hybrids like the Escape PHEV offer all-electric driving for short trips and a gas engine for longer ones. This gives you the best of both worlds!

Charge Up with Confidence
