Ford Simplifies EV Ownership for Ford Drivers with Smart App
Ford now lets EV and PHEV drivers take key controls of their vehicles right from their wrist. Through the MyFord Mobile app—available for both Android Wear and Apple Watch—you can access essential vehicle info and functions whether you drive a C-MAX Energi, Focus Electric, or Fusion Energi.
What the app lets you do:
- View real-time battery charge level and remaining range
- Start cabin preconditioning remotely, for a comfortable ride
- Lock or unlock the doors—no key fob required
- Check your mileage summary
- Review your last trip, including miles driven, EV-mile percentage, and your eco-driving score
- Find your car on a map, with walking or driving directions back to it
What I really love is the last-trip feature. It’s like getting a report card on your eco habits—tracking your miles per gallon (or MPGe), driving efficiency, and even braking performance. Watch the green leaves grow alongside your green driving score.

Ford tailored the MyFord Mobile app to look great on both round and rectangular smartwatch screens—no awkward formatting here. You can find it now on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
The MyFord Mobile app allows drivers of Ford’s EV or plug-in hybrid vehicles – C-MAX Energi, Focus Electric and Fusion Energi – to access a range of offerings all from their wrist including:
Smarter Driving with the MyFord Mobile Smartwatch App
The MyFord Mobile smartwatch app gives drivers of Ford’s electrified cars more control and insight than ever before. With a glance at your wrist, you can:
- Check battery range and charge status instantly.
- Remotely precondition the cabin for comfort before you drive.
- Lock or unlock the vehicle without using a key fob.
- View a full mileage summary of your trips.
- See a last-trip report with your personal driving score and the percentage of miles driven on electric power.
- Pinpoint your vehicle’s location and get walking or driving directions back to your parked car.
Ford designed the app for easy use on smartwatches, whether the display is round or rectangular. It’s available today on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Why the Last-Trip Feature Stands Out
My favorite function is the last-trip feature. It gives you a clear look at how eco-friendly your driving really is. The app tracks miles per gallon (MPG) or miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe), along with trip distance, braking habits, and overall efficiency.
The more efficient you drive, the more green leaves appear on your screen. It’s a simple, visual way to see how your choices behind the wheel support green living and help make the most of your Ford electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle.
Conclusion: Driving Toward a Smarter, Greener Future
The MyFord Mobile smartwatch app shows how technology can make electric cars not only easier to use but also more rewarding for eco-conscious drivers. By delivering real-time insights into efficiency, Ford is helping owners embrace a green living lifestyle while cutting emissions and saving money.
This app is just one part of the larger shift toward sustainable driving solutions and eco-friendly technology. Automakers around the globe are rethinking how drivers interact with their vehicles, moving toward features that promote lower carbon footprints and smarter mobility choices.
For example, the U.S. Department of Energy highlights how connected EV technologies and smart apps are transforming the driver experience and supporting nationwide goals for clean transportation (Energy.gov). Similarly, CleanTechnica has reported on Ford’s ongoing investment in digital tools that enhance the value of electrified cars while reducing barriers for mainstream adoption (CleanTechnica).
Ford Smart EV App
Ultimately, when apps like MyFord Mobile make going green this seamless, the case for electrified vehicles becomes even stronger. Every driver has the power to contribute to cleaner air, smarter cities, and a more sustainable future.
