THE POWER BEHIND ELECTRIFICATION

HYBRID & ELECTRIC BATTERIES

FORD BATTERY TECHNOLOGY

Our all-electric and hybrid vehicles are equipped with high-performance lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery packs. With their high energy density, Li-ion batteries pack a lot of power into a small and lightweight unit.

8-YEAR WARRANTY

Our hybrid and electric car batteries come with a reassuring 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. We’re proud of our battery’s strength and durability, and we guarantee that your car will retain at least 80% (and probably much more) of its original power and range while still in warranty.

HOW IT WORKS

Our hybrid and electric car batteries are similar to the battery in your smartphone. But rather than a single unit, EVs use a pack, with thousands of Li-ion cells working together.

Here’s how EV batteries work: a charge gives the batteries chemical energy, which they can then ‘discharge’ into the connected motor. This is what drives the car and gives your Ford EV such a smooth ride.

OUR BATTERIES

Lithium-ion batteries are by far the best option for EVs available today, and we use them in all of our electric and hybrid cars. But there are differences in size and power, depending on the demands of the vehicle.

Our all-electric Mustang Mach-E has a 99 kWh Extended Range battery that can deliver up to 379 miles on a single charge.

BUILT TO LAST

Electric car batteries are built to last the entire life of the vehicle. They lose a little potency over time, but not as much as you might think. Maybe 1-2% a year, which is only noticeable if you drive the car’s maximum range regularly. The best way to optimise the lifespan of your EV battery is to drive smoothly and to avoid extreme temperatures when possible. And if there’s a problem, all Ford hybrid and electric car batteries come with an 8-year warranty.

REPAIR

Very occasionally, a battery will have a minor fault. We will repair it as quickly and easily as possible. And if we can’t, we’ll replace it with a new one.

REPLACEMENT

When you need an EV battery replacement within warranty, we’ll remove it, recycle it and replace it with a new one. Simple as that.

RECYCLING

We're working with partners to develop closed-loop EV battery recycling — targeting zero-waste manufacture and making electric vehicles more affordable.

SERVICING

Electric cars have fewer moving parts and need less maintenance than traditional cars. That means you bring them in for servicing far less frequently. See the other benefits of electric cars.
