Worried about charging? We can recommend a variety of Ford-approved charging options to fit your needs and budget.

Many models even allow for smart features like scheduling charging during off-peak hours for optimized cost savings.

You'll find charging stations near your destination or your planned route through our partnership with leading networks and our user-friendly mobile app. Whether it's a quick top-up at a shopping mall or a full charge during a longer journey, you'll always be connected.

Different stations offer different charging speeds and protocols. Level 2 stations are common, while Level 3 (DC fast chargers) can replenish your battery significantly faster, perfect for longer trips. Many stations also offer multiple connectors to accommodate various EV models. Remember, charging times can vary depending on your vehicle's battery size and the station's power output.

How Do EVs Work

EV Service and Maintenance

Trust the Twin State Ford 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 2024 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.

At Twin State Ford, we offer dedicated service bays equipped for your EV's specific needs. 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. Contact a service team member of Twin State Ford today to learn more. 

EV Affordability

Explore your options, from EV savings that create a hassle-free purchasing experience to tax incentives that can qualify you for a tax credit 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. 

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 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.
