Are you searching for the right Ford EV? Before going out to buy your first EV, there is some helpful information you should know before visiting a dealership. Learn more about purchasing an EV.
Evaluate Driving Range
Knowing your Ford EV’s range on a full charge is helpful for trip planning, especially on longer voyages. It’s also good to understand how your driving habits and even specific vehicle settings will affect that range; your Ford dealer can give you tips to make the most of it.
Maintain Your Battery
Any car battery – including an EV battery – needs periodic inspection and maintenance. EVs also do best when they’re charged to less than 100% and when you don’t overuse Level 3 DC Fast Chargers.
Know Where a Charger Is
While there are more public EV chargers out there than most drivers realize – they’re not always as obvious as gas stations, after all – you’ll still want to plan your trips so you get to a charger in time. The FordPass® app can help with this.
Save Money with a Home Charger
Installing a home charger ensures you always know where at least one Level 2 charger is, and that you can easily charge your vehicle overnight. Your Ford dealer will guide you to a qualified installer who’ll outfit your home with a Ford-approved charger ideal for your car.
Learn the Car Incentives Available
There are federal tax incentives available for drivers purchasing an EV. The Inflation Reduction Act offers up to $7,500 in tax credits for purchases of new EVs and up to $4,000 credit for used EVs. The Schmit Bros team will also explain some local benefits available to Wisconsin drivers.
