The Northwoods Was Made for Adventure
Life in Northern Wisconsin is all about exploring. Whether you’re heading to Minocqua for fishing, taking the kids to Copper Falls, or just navigating icy Park Falls mornings, your vehicle needs to handle it all. That’s where Ford’s electric lineup shines — EVs are not only efficient and clean, they’re surprisingly built for the Northwoods lifestyle.
EVs and Snow: The Science of Better Handling
Here’s the truth most drivers don’t know: electric vehicles often handle better in the snow than traditional gas-powered cars. Why?
- Battery Placement = Lower Center of Gravity
EV batteries are mounted under the floor of the vehicle. This lowers the center of gravity, which increases stability and reduces rollover risk. - Extra Weight = More Traction
A Ford Mustang Mach-E or F-150 Lightning is naturally heavier than a gas equivalent. In winter driving, that extra weight means the tires dig in for stronger grip. Think of it like putting sandbags in the back of an old pickup — only smarter and built-in. - Instant Torque = Controlled Acceleration
Electric motors deliver torque instantly but smoothly, giving you more control when pulling out on icy roads or climbing snow-covered driveways.
Pair all that with available all-wheel drive, and Ford EVs are engineered for the realities of Northwoods winters.
Range and Charging Confidence
Don’t let the cold scare you. Today’s Ford EVs are equipped with intelligent battery management systems that regulate performance in freezing temps. Plus, charging options keep expanding:
- Ford’s BlueOval Charge Network gives you access to over 100,000 stations nationwide.
- Ford’s Power Promise includes a complimentary Level 2 home charger installation, so you can start every snowy morning with a full “tank” right from your garage.
Explore Quietly, Drive Cleanly
Whether you’re watching the eagles on the Flambeau River or taking a quiet sunrise drive to the trails, EVs make the Northwoods even more enjoyable. No engine noise, no exhaust — just clean air and crisp soundscapes.
