Soooo, time for battery failures I guess! The Ford EV 12V house battery was down to 12.2 volts this morning and the system warned me. It is the original 2013 battery, so I have no complaints. Glad the cool weather brought it to my attention before the cold weather arrives.
Fortunately, the main propulsion 318V batteries are still taking full charge and are still without issue.

Good thing the mains ae good. Gotta cost ya an arm & leg & part of your good teeth to replace the main propulsion batteries. Scares me. Probably cost more than the car is worth.
Crossing our fingers on propulsion battery longevity, but it was estimated at 100K miles and we are only about half that.
I bought the car used as a low mileage mint lease trade in in 2016 and paid $12K for it, which was the price of battery replacement at the time. Now I see that I can buy a new battery pack for $10K, so the price came down.
