What to know about Ford batteries
The catalogue covers 3 Ford electric models, on sale since 2021. The packs recorded use NMC or LFP cells, and the difference matters: LFP holds up better over time than nickel, and the gap widens with age.
Battery warranty. The terms recorded for Ford are 8 years, up to 100,000 miles, with a guaranteed minimum capacity of 70%. These terms depend on the date of first registration, not on the model alone: the checker gives the end date for a specific car.
Cost of a failure. 1 of the 3 models can be repaired module by module rather than by a full replacement, for between €800 and €2,300 depending on the model. These are orders of magnitude recorded in France, never quotes.
