THIS is how you get over 250k Miles out of an EV!

In this video we are going to tell you exactly how to get a quarter of a million miles on your new EV without having to replace the batteries!
Using a Lightning for example, right now they have a charge of about 260 miles worth of range on a singular charge. This allows for 1,000 charge cycles.
What causes the biggest concern for batteries long term, is heat. One of the things that can cause this is constantly using a fast charger. Some of the things that you can do to fix this is letting your battery rest before charging it. Another thing you can do is reduce your state of charge. The last tip is to leave your vehicle plugged in during very very low or very very high temperatures.
Onto warranty, the warranty is good for 100,000 miles or 8 years, whichever comes first. But if your state of charge drops below 70 before those 2 times happen, Ford will replace your battery pack.
Lastly, maintenance. The F-150 Lightning for example is heavier than a normal truck. It is around the weight of an F-250. For this reason this vehicle can cause more wear and tear to the tires. So it is very important to rotate your tires. It's also extremely important to understand that you need that eight or ten ply tire because the amount of torque this coming out of electric motors. It puts a ton of pressure on the sidewall of those tires and it can actually cause buckling on the tire.
