Cold Weather - Best Practices
As is the case for all EV vehicles, the FUV is affected by
cold temperatures. Generally, voltage and power output
tend to decline as temperatures approach freezing, which
may affect performance.
The FUV features several safeguards to protect the
battery system in harsh cold weather conditions.
We recommend you follow these best practices when
driving in cold weather.
