As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, one of the biggest concerns for buyers is battery longevity and warranty coverage. Ford offers comprehensive protection for its EV batteries, ensuring peace of mind for drivers of models like the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, and E-Transit.

In this guide, we’ll break down the Ford EV battery warranty, how long it lasts, what’s covered, and how you can extend protection for even more confidence on the road.

How Long Does the Ford EV Battery Warranty Last?

Ford provides an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty (whichever comes first) for all its electric vehicle batteries. This coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring that Ford EV owners have reliable performance for years to come.

Additionally, Ford’s EV battery warranty includes protection against excessive capacity loss. If the battery’s capacity drops below 70 percent within the warranty period, Ford will replace or repair it at no cost to the owner.

What Does the Ford EV Battery Warranty Cover?

Ford’s EV battery warranty is designed to protect owners against unexpected failures and degradation. Here’s what’s included:

• Battery Defects: Any issues with manufacturing or materials that impact the battery’s performance.
• Premature Capacity Loss: If the battery degrades below 70 percent of its original capacity within the coverage period, Ford will repair or replace it.
• High-Voltage Components: Some parts of the high-voltage system, including control modules, are covered under this warranty.
• Towing Assistance: If your EV battery fails and leaves you stranded, Ford will cover towing to the nearest dealership.

What’s Not Covered Under the Ford EV Battery Warranty?

While Ford’s warranty is comprehensive, certain exclusions apply:

• Normal Battery Degradation: All batteries lose capacity over time, but only excessive loss below 70 percent is covered.
• Damage from Accidents: Any damage caused by collisions, water intrusion, or improper modifications is not covered.
• Improper Maintenance or Charging: Using non-recommended chargers or improper charging habits can void portions of the warranty.

Can You Extend Your Ford EV Battery Warranty?
