reveals the 2008 FEH can have the Engine Block Heater installed. It is a MSRP of $35.00! It is unlikely this would include the wiring to the hybrid battery. There was a thread on this topic in this website last year and no one determined if and why Ford no longer had a wire going to the hybrid battery. See what your local dealer tells you.

Re: Block Heater/Batt Heater Canadian Models
I have a "Job 2" 2008 with the steering wheel audio controls. My purchase was made in Boston, MA April 25th. I wen out and pulled the rear seat down and lifted up the rug and found mine was missing the harness and wire o the hybrid battery heater idential to the following picture I copied from above. Hope this helps. Does anyone know if this means that I can or cannot get the an engine block heater (EBH) & battery warmer installed from a dealer?
I believe all of the 2005-07 models had wires from the hybrid battery to the engine compartment where it capped under the coolant bottles on the side firewall. This was true for my vehicle. I purchased the Ford 41H option after I bought my vehicle and the Ford dealership installed this equipment.
I'm assuming the folks with the 2008 and newer models that do not have the wire into the hybrid battery compartment need to have this done. Could this mean additional labor charges for the 41H option?

Obviously that may mean a lower MPG out of the gate with the cold battery, but as far as Ford was concerned it wasn't there for MPG.. It was there to make sure the darn thing would start! Thats all.
