EV Affordability

Explore your options, from savings that create a hassle-free purchasing experience to tax incentives that you can qualify for when you make the switch to an EV. While filling your tank can feel like a never-ending drain, charging your Ford EV at home costs a fraction of the price. Imagine filling your "tank" for just a few dollars and enjoying hundreds of miles of range. Now, factor in maintenance. EVs have fewer moving parts, resulting in reduced wear and tear and requiring less frequent servicing compared to gas-powered vehicles. That translates to fewer trips to the shop and lighter repair bills.

But the savings don't stop there! The US government offers a generous federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for qualifying electric vehicles, including several 2024 Ford models like the Ford F-150 Lightning. This hefty credit instantly reduces your purchase price, making your dream EV even more accessible.

Let's illustrate with an example: Say you're considering the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning. After applying for the tax credit, its effective price could be significantly lower than a gas-powered SUV. Add fuel and maintenance savings over the years, and your electric choice looks even more attractive. At Moon Township Ford, we understand financing and are to help you secure the best deals. We offer competitive financing options tailored to your needs, making your transition to an EV smooth and affordable. To learn more about EV affordability, click here!

EV Service and Maintenance

Trust our service team to care for your EV with routine service and maintenance for a smooth and safe drive. Want to know how EVs work? Let's start by clarifying the terms. Service refers to addressing unexpected repairs or issues, while maintenance covers routine upkeep to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

EV Service: Thankfully, EVs require significantly less service compared to gas-powered vehicles. They have fewer moving parts, resulting in fewer potential failure points. However, periodic tire pressure, brakes, and suspension inspections are still crucial. Additionally, software updates might be needed occasionally to optimize performance and functionality.

EV Maintenance: When it comes to maintenance, EVs shine again! Say goodbye to oil changes and spark plug replacements. Your Ford EV, whether it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, requires minimal scheduled maintenance. Like any vehicle, focus on routine checks like wiper blades, cabin air filters, and brake fluid levels.

Taking Care of Your EV: While maintenance needs are minimal, remember that proactive care is still essential. Here are some key tips:

• Charging: Use the recommended charging methods and avoid constantly running your battery down to zero.
• Climate: Extreme temperatures can impact the range. Park in moderate climates whenever possible.
• Driving habits: Avoid aggressive acceleration and braking to maximize range and battery health.

Our certified technicians are trained to handle everything from routine maintenance to advanced diagnostics, ensuring your EV stays in top shape. We also offer convenient scheduling and comfortable waiting areas to make your service experience seamless.
