Need Range? Here's How To Get the Most Out Of Your F-150 Lightning In The Winter via insideevs.com
Other than using the preconditioning feature, one of the easiest and most effective things to do is to simply drive a little slower. At any temperature, the faster you drive on the highway the less range you'll have. However, in colder temperatures, the wind resistance actually increases because cold air is denser than warm air.
Shaving 5 or 10 miles per hour off of your normal driving speed can result in an additional 10 to 20 miles of range and may make the difference between having to stop and charge along the route or making the destination on a single charge. Slowing down a bit is also safer, as sudden patches of frozen road surfaces are easier to maneuver at slower speeds.
In addition to reviewing the cold weather driving recommendations, I had the chance to speak to Ford's VP of Electric Vehicle Programs, Darren Palmer, about driving the Lightning in the winter months. Darren also drives a Lightning as his daily driver, so he knows a bit about driving it in cold weather as well.
Finally, I also had the chance to speak to Jeff Head, a Lightning owner that lives in Anchorage Alaska. Jeff's owned many pickup trucks and said the all-wheel drive system in the Lightning is the best he's ever experienced - and that includes his combustion F-150. So check out the video and let us know what you think. Did we miss anything? If you're an experienced EV owner let us know if you have any more cold-weather driving tips.
