Reasons to Consider a Ford EV

In recent years, a growing number of motorists have called for more eco-friendly cars. While hybrid automobiles have been around for a while, all-electric vehicles were something of a novelty until recently.

Ford EVs are more commonplace these days, which is a great thing. You may even be wondering, if a Ford EV is right for you? Rest assured, we'll be happy to tell you why Ford EVs are a steal.

Protects the Environment

Drivers who get a Ford EV from Folsom Lake Ford can feel great about their choice because driving an EV helps protect the environment. Gas-powered cars release harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

Because they rely on electricity for propulsion exclusively, EVs don't release emissions. In fact, a lot of EVs don't even have tailpipes!

Lowers Your Ford Service Expenses

If you make the decision to purchase or lease a Ford EV, you'll end up saving money on the maintenance your vehicle will need throughout its lifetime. While you'll still need to bring your automobile to our Ford service center for maintenance, you won't have to do so as often as you would for a gas-powered car, and you won't have to schedule the same services.

In general, servicing an EV over its working life costs about one-third of what it costs to service a gas-only model. Lowering your cumulative service expenses is just one way a Ford EV will pay you back.

Eliminates Fuel Costs

As we mentioned earlier, Ford EVs only use electricity to get from one place to another, which means you won't ever have to pay to fill your EV with fuel. Although that's true, you will have to pay to charge your EV. According to Duke Energy, EV drivers save an average of $1,000 every year by charging their cars instead of filling them up with fuel.

Reduces Your Federal Tax Bill

When you contact our Folsom, CA Ford dealership, we'll tell you that buying a Ford EV can reduce your federal tax bill by as much as $7,500 in the year you purchase the vehicle. Unfortunately, lessees won't enjoy the same tax savings as the lessor is the entity that can claim the federal tax credit.

Whether you want to enjoy the benefits of a Ford F-150 Lightning or another Ford EV, we invite you to contact our Ford financing center to apply for an auto loan or lease package today!
