I have been noticing my battery temp higher than normal this year. But... I live in Vegas and it has been only slightly cooler than the surface of the sun for weeks now. Today I took a 32 mile drive and the temp was reported by the truck at 110. When I started the drive, the battery temp was...

First I will start by saying I love my truck '(22 Lariat)! When I was getting close to 10k mileage, I called Ford to book my 10k service appointment. My dealership, as with most dealerships I have worked with, couldn't give me much information over the phone. I was only ever able to speak to...
We already had one trip under our belt to Phoenix and back. Since we were headed to CA and CA is the capital for EVs, I was not concerned about the charging situation. I should have been concerned.
