What sort of smartwatch features does the app offer, you ask? Quite a few that you’re sure to find useful if you own an electric car or plug-in hybrid. Capabilities include:
- Remote door lock/unlock

Ford designed the app to give drivers the ability to check important data at a glance, without always having to whip out their smartphones. The app also fits watches with round and rectangular faces equally as well, so you don’t have to worry about any awkward viewing issues.
