Stopping:The vehicle is equipped with a regenerative braking system.
Slowing the vehicle adds charge to the high voltage battery which
improves vehicle range.
Transmission Operation:This electric vehicle is equipped with a single
speed transmission. Torque is delivered to the wheels seamlessly without
shifting associated with a normal automatic transmission.
Neutral:N (Neutral gear)
Low:L (Low gear) is designed to mimic the enhanced engine braking
available in conventional vehicles. L (Low gear) will produce a higher
level of regenerative braking when your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
This is normal and will not damage your vehicle.
Reverse:R (Reverse gear)
Unique electric operating characteristics
Your electric vehicle, with its new technology, behaves differently
compared to a conventional vehicle or hybrid. Here is a description of
the major differences:
Battery:The best battery performance and life comes when the high
voltage battery is at a moderate temperature. The high voltage battery is
heated and cooled by a liquid cooling loop. The high voltage battery
consists of two packs one located under the rear seat and the second
located behind the rear seat in the trunk of the vehicle.
Plugging In:The electric vehicle must be plugged in to recharge the
high voltage battery. The vehicle is equipped with a high voltage charge
port on the front left hand fender for charging. The vehicle comes
standard with a 120V convenience cord set which is located in the trunk.
This can be plugged into any standard electric outlet and will fully
charge the high voltage battery in about 18-20 hours. Ford has partnered
with Best Buy to offer a 240V Leviton charger that is capable of fully
charging the battery in 3 to 4 hours. The charge port door is designed
for convenient “push-push” opening and closing. Press on the door in the
location of the indentation to open the door. To close the door, press in
the same location until the door has rotated back into position and
clicked into place. To charge the vehicle, open the charge port door and
plug the charging coupler into the charge port receptacle. You will know
the connection has been made when the charge port light ring
illuminates the quadrants individually. The light ring will then display
battery state of charge in 25% increments.
