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

At Parkway Ford, we’re always excited to bring the latest innovations to our customers. Ford is now rolling out a major software update for its electric vehicles, specifically the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach-E. This update introduces an enhanced experience for EV drivers by enabling EV routing through Google Maps via Android Auto. Plus, it brings along some unexpected and helpful surprises designed to improve your driving experience.

Key Features of the New Update

This new software update, first announced at CES 2024, offers Ford EV owners a host of improvements that will make your journeys smoother, especially when navigating longer distances. Here's what you can look forward to:

• EV Routing with Google Maps: Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E drivers can now enjoy more intelligent, EV-specific routing. With this feature, Google Maps will provide estimated battery levels when you arrive at your destination, suggest charging stops along the route, and even offer an estimated charging time based on live data from your vehicle.
• Seamless Charging Guidance: Google Maps now integrates information about compatible Tesla Supercharger locations, so you can easily find places to charge using an adapter. Additionally, the update enables route preconditioning for your vehicle’s battery when navigating to a DC fast charger, ensuring you arrive with the optimal charge level for fast charging.
• Real-Time Charging Info: The software update allows you to see available chargers along your route, helping you plan your trip with peace of mind, knowing where you can stop to charge.

These new features are designed to provide a seamless driving experience, especially on longer trips. With real-time updates and suggestions tailored to your vehicle’s electric powertrain, this update takes the hassle out of EV ownership.
