Increase battery size

[Santiaventura]

Good morning every body. Does anyone know if it is possible to physically increase the size of the battery by adding the modules of the extended one?
My RWD standar battery loses a lot of autonomy range in winter... I love my car but if I had more autonomy range I would love him more...
Maybe ford can say something about it.
Thanks

thanks for the clarification OWG and sorry my bad english...
I meant the range, the number of kilometers that can be traveled

No, it cannot be added to.

The only feasible way to get the bigger battery is to trade your car for one that already has it.

Yeah for $7,000

Your English is way better than my Spanish.

With regards to range, are you truly limited on a daily basis? Or is it a roadtrip/worry issue?

Just remember - Spring is just 46 days away!

That's right?...
I will check with my dealer...

The $7,000 charge is the additional cost over the MSRP for a standard battery-equipped MachE you would pay for a new MachE with an extended battery. You are not able to add the extended battery to an existing MachE with a standard battery.

is it realy so bad with Winter range in Spain? Your Winter is not so cold, as let's say here in Latvia.

Now, -5 / 5 degrees Celsius and an average range of 220 km..360 in summer.
360 km are acceptable but 220 very few and it forces me to stop 3 times on a 600km trip
adding 3 hours to the trip...
Changing cars is not an option, I don't have money to do it..
Thank for your input Elektronik?

220 km sounds very low even for a standard range rwd in winter, with preconditioning and 100 percent battery and driving at 50-60 mph, you should be getting at least 170 miles or near 280 km

I make travels between citis at 120km/h on average...and I cannot get more than 220km...
Driving in the city the range is clearly greater... The problem is on trips..

Ok makes sense now the efficiency drops at that speed, see if you can do 105 kph, and also if you precondition ( set a departure time)and start with a full battery you can go a bit farther. And recent OTA updates I think it's 3.6.2 included battery warming pior to fast charge session which will speed up your charging. You have to use fords navigation to do that ( I don't know if it will work in Europe)

Sorry I was joking, it would definitely cost more than $7k that’s just how much extra it is to buy the bigger battery with the car lol
