Does Speed Affect EV Range?
High speeds have a negative effect on an EV’s range, but heavy-footed acceleration affects it even more. Moderate acceleration helps get more from every charge.
Does Temperature Affect EV Range?
Outside temperatures have an impact. But here’s a trick for EV drivers: “precondition” the vehicle* while plugged in. It uses your home’s energy to pre-heat or pre-cool your vehicle’s interior – not the battery. Easily pre-program your preconditioning times, based on your schedule.
*Effectiveness of cabin conditioning may be reduced by extreme outside temperatures.
Can Towing Affect EV Range?
Can You Tow With an EV? With an F-150® Lightning®, you bet. However, just like with a gas engine, towing will impact range. Because trailers naturally add weight and aerodynamic drag. So, plan ahead.

Best Practices for the Best Range
From setting a charging schedule for your vehicle to avoiding routes with stop-and-go-traffic, there are a number of easy steps you can take to maximize your EV’s range.
Preconditioning Your Battery
Ensure your EV works smarter, not harder, by pre-heating or pre-cooling your vehicle’s interior and battery before you start your trip.
Available Ford Intelligent Range
Available for all of Ford’s battery-electric vehicles, Intelligent Range can provide fast and easy range estimates to help you better plan your journey.
Mustang Mach-E Range
Standard Range Batteries
- EPA-estimated range of up to 402 km.*
- Think Vancouver to Kelowna.
Available Extended Range Batteries
- EPA-estimated range of up to 502 km (2023 Mustang Mach-E California Route 1 eAWD model).*
- Think Montreal to Toronto.
*Estimated driving range based on full charge. Actual range varies with conditions such as external environment, vehicle use, vehicle maintenance, lithium-ion battery age and state of health. Driving range estimated based on Government of Canada approved test methods.
E-Transit Range
Depending on roof height, the all-electric E-Transit offers:
Standard Range Battery
- EPA-estimated range* of up to 203 km (2023 Ford E-Transit Cargo Van Low Roof models).
- Think Toronto to London, ON.
*Based on full charge. Demonstrated range reflecting current capability based on testing consistent with US EPA MCT drive cycle methodology (www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/pdfs/EPA test procedure for EVs-PHEVs-11-14-2017.pdf) at ALVW (Adjusted Loaded Vehicle Weight) and Government of Canada approved methods. Actual range varies with conditions such as external environment, vehicle use, upfits and alterations, vehicle maintenance, lithium-ion battery age and state of health.
How Long Do EV Batteries Last?
*The High Voltage Battery is not covered if it is damaged due to improper vehicle storage. Refer to your Owner Manual for required storage procedures necessary to protect the High Voltage Battery.
