4-5 mile trips are what cause lower mpg especially in winter. If a cell goes bad the dash will illuminate and tell you. Either put up with lower mpg (but better than equivalent vehicles) or regularly take 40 minute trips to improve the soc. Changing out a battery will not improve performance (but keep the spare if you do).

On board computers (thanks to the G21 team) keep the battery charge level not for efficiency or speed but for vehicle and calendar life typically well over 2-300k. A grid charger may help (likely will) but design it thoroughly.

Gen II battery is cooled (from the top)

N.B a smaller electric vehicle may be more suitable for such small journeys

**Ford won't use Denso...or Boron steel for that matter
