Ford Electric Vehicle FAQs
Can cold weather affect electric cars?
Cold weather conditions can impact an electric vehicle's range in a similar way it affects fuel consumption in gas-powered cars. However, this should not deter you from purchasing a Ford EV available at our local electric car dealer. An electric car like the new Ford Mustang Mach-E is designed to perform well in adverse weather conditions.
Do electric cars require oil changes?
This is a frequently asked question, and the answer is no! Oil changes aren’t required for electric vehicles as they are powered by an electric motor rather than an internal combustion engine.
Where can I charge an electric car?
There are numerous electric car charging stations both locally and across the nation that offer convenient EV charging options. If you prefer charging your Ford EV at home, you can easily get an electric charger installed in your garage or driveway.
How long does it take to charge an electric car?
Charging durations can vary depending on the specific model of the electric car. Based on how much range you need and the prevailing conditions, an EV can be fully charged within a few minutes to several hours.
Are electric cars less expensive to maintain?
New Ford EVs have fewer fluids and mechanical components than traditional gas engine vehicles, so they are generally less costly to maintain. Some maintenance aspects such as tire service intervals, windshield wiper replacement and brake service remain similar for both types of vehicles. However, opting for a Ford F-150 Lightning or Mustang Mach-E eliminates the need to worry about gas expenses, fluctuating fuel prices or scheduling oil changes.
Which Ford models are fully electric?
The current Ford lineup includes three fully electric vehicles -- the Ford Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning and new E-Transit -- along with a variety of hybrid models.
