1 day agoThe Ford Mustang Mach-E Can Now Precondition Its Battery Via CarPlay
The 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E can precondition its battery for fast charging using Apple Maps on CarPlay.
It wasn't seamless, and frankly, in some cases, it could be distracting to move back and forth if you were doing something that you could do on a phone projection type of system, versus if you needed to do something in the vehicle, GM CEO Mary Barra said on The Verge's "Decoder" podcast in October. But there's now a solution for all the Apple CarPlay power users out there that also happen to own a GM-made EV that doesn't have their go-to smartphone mirroring feature.
If your car supports Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, that will continue. Both will remain available in all GM gas-powered vehicles for the foreseeable future. As we advance toward our centralized computing platform, we'll gradually move to a better, more deeply integrated experience - a direction the broader industry is taking as vehicles become more software-defined. This will happen over time, not overnight. We value our collaboration with Apple and Google and remain focused on delivering experiences customers love.
