Benefits of an Electric Vehicle

EVs Can Save You Money

Going electric is a great way for you to do your part to reduce your carbon footprint, but there’s so much more that a zero-emissions vehicle can offer you. One of the biggest benefits is that EVs are frequently less expensive over time than gas-powered vehicles. The main reason for this is that they’ll save you money on fuel costs by eliminating trips to the gas station, but the savings don’t stop there.

EVs tend to require servicing and maintenance less frequently than gas-powered vehicles, and when they do need to go in, the maintenance costs they incur are typically lower. This is because electric vehicles naturally take less wear and tear than their traditional counterparts, meaning that you’ll be saving money on ownership costs as well.

In many states owning an electric vehicle can qualify you for a federal tax rebate of up to $7,500! You might also be eligible for even more money back from your state and your utility company, depending on where you live. Many hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles aren’t eligible for these tax credits, so this is a perk you only get with a battery electric vehicle.

EVs Are Easy to Fuel

Not only is heading to the gas station an irritating chore, but when gas prices are constantly fluctuating the way they are now, it’s a source of stress that you just don’t need in your life. With an EV, the gas station becomes a thing of the past!

You can charge your Ford electric vehicle right in your own home with ease. If you’re already in the habit of plugging in your phone every night, plugging in your car won’t be difficult to adjust to. Your power cord will work with either a standard 120V outlet, the kind you probably already have in your garage, or with a 240V outlet for even faster charging, meaning that you don’t even necessarily need to get a special outlet installed in order to go electric.

Additionally, Ford’s Blue Oval Charging Network is the largest public charging network in North America. No matter where you are on the road, you won’t be too far from a charging station when you need one, so long trips never have to be stressful.

EVs Are Fun to Drive

What’s life without a little excitement? You might be worried that switching to an EV will have you missing out on the thrilling performance you love, but think again. An electric vehicle can provide you with a smooth and quiet driving experience unlike anything you’ve ever seen in a gas-powered car, as well as improved handling.

If you’re looking for speed, you’ll be able to find an EV to get your heart pounding. The 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E, for example, can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.5 seconds. With performance like this, you’ll find there’s nothing you can’t do in an electric vehicle!
