Awesome.. I will drive it and not worry about it..Yes.
The act of discharging the battery generates a very small amount of heat, and charging the battery (regen or plugging it in) creates quite a bit of heat. The batteries like to be about 60-70 degrees F, so the car will try to keep them that way.
The batteries will degrade faster in hot weather, but I wouldn't be concerned. They are designed to handle Arizona-type weather and last a minimum of 10 years. If they drop below 70% of their original capacity before 10 years, Ford gives you a new battery per warranty.
Thanks again,
Doug..
