New Ford Capri: With next-generation charging technology that loosens your hands
Designed for everyday use as well as for long-distance journeys, the Ford Capri sets new standards, giving its drivers the ability to quickly and easily connect to any external charging source. So charging on the road with the new Capri is always quick and easy, with Ford’s new EV able to help drivers locate the most convenient refueling stops.
The advanced battery technology of the new Ford Capri seamlessly ensures the continuity of the journey by providing easy, fast and practical charging solutions. Thanks to the advanced electrical circuit that supports all kinds of charging both in alternating current with a maximum power of 11 kW and in direct current up to 135 and 185 kW for the RWD and AWD versions respectively, the Extended Range battery of the new Ford Capri can charge on a high-power DC fast charger from 10-80% 3 in just around 26 minutes for AWD versions and around 28 minutes for rear-wheel drive (RWD) versions.
In practice, just 10 minutes of DC fast charging is enough for the new Capri’s lithium-ion battery to recover the energy needed to cover 179 km for the RWD version and 199 km for the AWD version. From there, on an 11 kW AC supply, the battery will charge from 10-80% in 5 hours and 21 minutes (RWD) and 5 hours and 25 minutes (AWD).
Information on battery charge and range is available through the vehicle’s Ford SYNC Move operating system, through which owners can also schedule desired charging times to take advantage of any economic charges (for example, lower night-time tariffs ) while ensuring that there is the necessary autonomy to complete their next trips. In addition, drivers can also set in their vehicle the times they intend to leave, activating the pre-conditioning function to achieve the ideal temperature in the car cabin while the vehicle is charging. In this way, more electricity is stored in the vehicle’s battery.
As part of the rich basic equipment of the new Ford Capri, customers receive with the purchase of the car the Mode 3 charging cable (Type 2, 16A) which allows easy connection to AC wall chargers (Wallbox) at home, at work or even in public charging points, regardless of limitation. The direct current (DC) charging cable is built into the charging station, so it is not supplied with the car.
Along with the above, the connected navigation system of the electric Ford Capri, combined with the intelligent EV Trip Planner trip computer, can locate the locations of public charging stations during a journey, prompting drivers to charge at the most convenient for them points.
The new Ford Capri does not come with a cable release button on the vehicle’s charging port. To do this, Ford provides customers with three different ways: either through the touch screen from the menu “Charging settings → Stop Charging” or by unlocking the vehicle with the car key, or alternatively through the menu of the charger Stop Charging where this is available.
