What Are The Benefits Of Driving A Ford Electric Vehicle?
Exhilaration Gone Electric: Is The Hype Real?
If you’re ready to command your next vehicle, there’s a good chance you’ve popped the big question: Are electric vehicles (EVs) better than gas-powered cars? After all, we hear electric is the future and plenty of acclaim for the EVs on the road—and today, we’re here to walk you through what to expect when you ride with alternative fuels (especially the fun you’re about to find). Also, stop by Way Scarff Ford in Auburn, WA, to test drive an electric vehicle for a first-hand feel of contemporary sustainability.
Say Goodbye To Excess Costs…And Plug-In To Savings
Take a cruise with a Ford EV, and the first benefit you’ll notice is that you’ll skip the gas pump—that’s right, you’ll no longer need to worry about what’s happening in the market with gas prices, as you’ll no longer need to pay upwards of $60 each time you need to refuel. Even if you remember late at night that your charge is running low, you can hook up to a charge box in your garage instead of needing to drive to a gas station to fill up.
Are you wondering, “How long does it take to charge an electric car?” In most cases, you can hook up to a DC Fast Charge station and not only usually pay much less than what you would at a gas station but also top off your battery in as little as 30-ish minutes, which means you can hook up, make a grocery run, take a walk, or stream your favorite TV show and enjoy the savings and sustainability that comes with no longer needing gas. Plus, don’t forget most Ford electric cars' ranges reach upwards of EPA-estimated 300 miles, which allows you to cruise throughout the week while recharge interruptions can feel like a rarity.
Also, when it’s time for maintenance, you’ll no longer need to worry about an oil change. Just think about the time and money you’ll save now that you won’t need to schedule this service every 7,500 miles and wait in a service center for 30 minutes to an hour per pop (usually 1-3 times per year)—you’re gaining time to form valuable memories or embark on epic drives.
Who Says Efficient Can’t Be Fun?
On top of all those savings—you’re also about to gear up for exhilarating rides that reignite the joys of driving. Specifically, if you take command of a vehicle like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, you’ll bask with instant torque, which translates to an instant bolt of exhilaration the instant you touch the accelerator. Specifically, when you ride with the GT trim, you’ll cruise from 0-60 mph in as little as 3.5 seconds, which puts this electric ride’s acceleration in a tier with supercars, essentially putting you behind the wheel of one of the fastest cars in the Seattle area.
