Exciting Update for Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E Owners: Enhanced EV Routing with Google Maps

At Kitchener Ford, we’re committed to keeping you up-to-date with the latest innovations that make your driving experience even better. Ford has just rolled out a major software update for the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach-E, and we’re excited to share the details with you. This update introduces new EV routing features via Google Maps through Android Auto, along with some exciting surprises designed to make your electric vehicle experience smoother and more efficient.

Key Features of the New Software Update

This latest software update, announced at CES 2024, provides Ford electric vehicle owners with a host of new features that will help you get the most out of your vehicle. Here’s a look at what you can expect:

• EV Routing with Google Maps: Drivers of the Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E will now benefit from more intelligent routing. Google Maps will estimate your battery level upon arrival, suggest charging stops along your route, and even estimate the time needed to charge based on real-time data from your vehicle.
• Seamless Charging Information: The update enables you to see compatible Tesla Supercharger locations along your route, so you can easily find places to charge with an adapter. Plus, it includes battery preconditioning when heading to a DC fast charger, ensuring that your battery is optimized for the fastest possible charge.
• Real-Time Charger Locations: The update also provides real-time information about available chargers along your route, making it easier than ever to plan your road trips and ensure you’ll always have a charging station within reach.

This new functionality is designed to provide a seamless and efficient driving experience for Ford electric vehicle owners, especially on longer journeys. With smarter routing, better charging guidance, and up-to-date charging times, you can focus more on the road and less on planning your next charging stop.

Once updated, simply download the latest version of Google Maps on your smartphone, connect to Android Auto, and enjoy the new EV routing features directly from your vehicle’s dashboard.
