Known issues

Low
Ford added the LFP option on Select trim starting in 2023 to insulate against IRA-related Chinese-cell tax-credit disputes. Ford's plan to source from a Marshall, MI plant licensing CATL technology ran into political headwinds; current LFP packs are still CATL imports.
Low
LFP chemistry can be charged to 100% daily without accelerated degradation. Ford recommends weekly 100% charges for BMS calibration.
Low
Cold-weather range loss on LFP is more pronounced than NCM ER pack — expect 30-40% reduction at 20°F.
Low
DC fast-charging speeds peak around 115 kW (slower than ER pack's 155 kW). Charge curve is flatter through 80%.

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).
