With proper care and maintenance, you can expect battery health to retain above 70% of its original capacity for up to 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. This translates to years of reliable electric driving performance. We’re happy to assist you in finding the perfect electric vehicle to meet your needs and power your journey for years to come.

How Do EVs Work

EV Service & Maintenance

Switching to an electric vehicle might raise questions about service and maintenance. While EVs require less maintenance than traditional gas-powered cars, proper care is still crucial for maximizing performance and longevity. Say goodbye to oil changes and complex engine tune-ups. Ford EVs have fewer moving parts, meaning less natural deterioration and fewer routine service requirements compared to gasoline vehicles. Regular tire rotations, brake checks, and cabin air filter replacements remain essential for maintaining safety and optimal performance. Our certified technicians at Portsmouth Ford are equipped to handle these services for your Ford EV, using genuine Ford parts to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly. While Ford EV batteries are built to last, proper charging habits can further extend their lifespan. Avoid extreme temperatures when charging, and whenever possible, utilize Level 2 chargers for faster and more efficient charging. Our team can provide detailed guidance on maximizing your battery’s health and performance. Our service department is dedicated to keeping your Ford EV running smoothly and reliably for years to come. Schedule an EV service appointment and experience the future of sustainable driving with the proper knowledge!

Benefits of Buying an EV

EV Charging

Charging is a key consideration when choosing an electric vehicle. Thankfully, Ford offers a variety of convenient and efficient charging solutions to fit your lifestyle. A network of public charging stations is readily available across the country, allowing you to recharge your battery while on the go. Many smartphone apps and navigation systems, including the FordPass® app, can help you locate nearby stations, making long-distance travel a breeze. For quicker charging, look for DC fast charging stations. These powerful stations can significantly add to your range in a shorter time, perfect for extended trips or unexpected detours. For everyday charging convenience, consider installing a home charging station. This allows you to charge your EV overnight, waking up to a full battery every morning, which is just one of the many benefits of buying an EV. Portsmouth Ford can recommend qualified electricians to help you with the installation process. Home charging stations typically come in Level 1 and Level 2 options. Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet and offer slower charging, while Level 2 chargers utilize a 240-volt outlet and provide significantly faster charging speeds. Portsmouth Ford can help you determine the best charging solution for your needs, whether it’s a portable charger for occasional trips or a home station for everyday convenience. We’re here to ensure a smooth and worry-free transition to electric driving.

EV Tax Credits

Navigating the changing landscape of electric vehicle tax credits can be confusing. We’re here to clear up the process and help you determine if a Ford EV qualifies for the federal tax credit. The federal EV tax credit could significantly lower the upfront cost of your new Ford EV—potentially by up to $7,500! The exact amount depends on factors like your income, the vehicle’s battery capacity, and where it was built. Our team at Portsmouth Ford is here to decipher the details and ensure you get the maximum savings possible. Remember, the tax credit is just one of the perks of going electric with Ford. Imagine smoother performance, cleaner energy, and reduced fuel and maintenance costs. Ready to explore a thrilling, sustainable future? The benefits of Ford EVs extend far beyond the tax credit.

EV Affordability

While the initial price tag of an electric vehicle may differ from its gasoline counterpart, the long-term ownership experience reveals significant cost savings. Ford EVs offer several advantages that translate into financial benefits. Say goodbye to volatile gas prices! Charging your Ford EV at home is significantly cheaper than filling a gas tank, leading to substantial fuel cost savings over the lifetime of the vehicle. EVs have fewer moving parts compared to gasoline engines, resulting in reduced maintenance needs and potentially lower service costs. Additionally, regenerative braking extends the life of your brake pads, further minimizing maintenance expenses. Federal and state tax credits can significantly reduce the upfront cost of purchasing a new Ford EV. Our team at Portsmouth Ford can help you navigate these incentives and maximize your potential savings. When you factor in long-term savings on fuel, maintenance, and potential incentives, owning a Ford EV becomes a financially compelling choice. Visit Portsmouth Ford today and let our team explore your options.
