All electric vehicles lose some of their normal driving range in the colder winter months. In this video, I explore the different things that owners can do to minimize range loss when it's cold outside. I'm joined by Darren Palmer, Ford's VP of electric vehicle programs as well as one of the first people who lives in Alaska and took delivery of a Ford F-150 Lightning in 2022.
