What Affects EV range?

There are three main factors that can affect the driving range of a full electric vehicle:

Heavy acceleration and high speeds

  • In any type of vehicle, accelerating fast will use more power and reduce range. This applies to Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) and Electric Vehicles (EV).
  • Likewise, faster speeds create exponentially more wind and road resistance, impacting on range.

Climate and temperature

  • Extreme heat or cold temperatures outside have the potential to affect battery range, directly. All electric vehicles (EV’s) have less energy when in cold temperatures compared to warm temperatures due to battery cell chemistry.
  • Heating and cooling the inside of the vehicle for passenger comfort also has an impact.
Payload
  • Transporting more weight in the form of heavy cargo or multiple passengers results in greater energy consumption.

Maximising EV Range

Ford Pro E-Telematics has several features which can help maximise the available range of your electric vehicles:

In-vehicle coaching can improve driver efficiency by providing real time verbal prompts to the driver if the system detects undesirable driving practices, like harsh braking or rapid acceleration.

Departure pre-conditioning allows you to warm or cool the propulsion battery and vehicle cabin while the vehicle is plugged in to a charger, taking energy from the grid and not from battery. This means the available energy in the battery can be used to provide maximum range and not wasted conditioning the battery and cabin.

Driver behaviour reporting helps you to identify opportunities for driver efficiency improvements.

You can also choose to add vehicle options such as Smart Acceleration Control and Speed Limiters to maximise range.
