The Ford F-150 Lightning, like all electric vehicles, loses some of its normal driving range in the colder winter months. In this video, I explore the different things that owners can do to minimize range loss when it's cold outside. I'm joined by Darren Palmer, Ford's VP of electric vehicle programs as well as an F-150 Lightning owner that lives in Alaska.
