Fewer Maintenance Costs
EVs have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance and upkeep. Since there is no combustible engine or transmission, you can say goodbye to oil changes and all the related maintenance that goes along with keeping an engine clean and running smoothly. Even the powerful battery packs in EVs require zero maintenance, and you should expect them to last over ten years. Typical EV maintenance involves brake and tire services and periodic checks for other components to ensure your EV is operating optimally.
Fuel Savings
EVs have no gas engines, so that you can say goodbye to skyrocketing or unpredictable fuel costs. You could save an equivalent of up to $893 per year on fuel costs.
Exceptional Performance
EVs are powerful and fun to drive, with instant acceleration and a quiet, smooth ride. New Ford EVs are also full of advanced technology for safety and convenience, including BlueCruise hands-free driving and massive infotainment touchscreens to stay seamlessly connected and entertained.
Convenient Charging Solutions
Charging is as easy as recharging any other electronic device with a standard Level I or Level II charger at home. You can stop at a public fast-charging station around Orlando and along all major US highways for quick charging on the go.

Mustang Mach-E
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is an impressively well-rounded compact electric crossover, offering refined accommodations, flexible cargo capacity, cutting-edge tech, and practical range. Plus, with its potent performance options and confident handling dynamics, the Mustang Mach-E earns its pony car namesake.
Available in RWD and AWD layouts with a Standard or Extended Range battery, the Mustang Mach-E offers numerous performance options - from the base-model Select with 266 horsepower/317 pound-feet of torque to the exhilarating GT with 480 horsepower/600 pound-feet.

Charging How-Tos
Get to know your all-electric vehicle with these tips for fast and convenient charging.
Charging Basics
There are many ways to charge your all-electric vehicle. Here are a few things you should know before plugging in.
Charging at Home
Charging at home can be as simple as plugging in, but here are some additional tips on how to enjoy a seamless charging experience.
Charging on the Road
Ford makes it easy to charge your all-electric vehicle on the go. Here's a quick overview on how to utilize the Blue Oval™ Charge Network.
Charging Options
Ford Connected Charge Station 240V/48A
28 Miles
Average range per charging hour.
For even quicker charging, you can go with a hardwired charging solution. A licensed electrician can install a dedicated charging station, increasing the rate to around 28 miles of range per hour for Extended range batteries.
Ford Mobile Charger with
240V/30A NEMA 14-50 Wall Outlet
20 Miles
Average range per charging hour.
The mobile charger that came with your Ford EV can plug into an available 240V outlet (the same type as your dryer) and charge at up to 30 amps, adding approximately 20 miles of range per hour.
Ford Mobile Charger with 120V/12A
Wall Outlet
3 Miles
Average range per charging hour.
If you have a shorter Saint Cloud or Kissimmee commute, you might be able to use a standard 3-pin household-style wall outlet for most of your charging. Known as "Level 1" charging, you can add about three miles of range per hour by plugging the Ford Mobile Charger (included with your all-electric vehicle) into a 120-volt outlet. So, if you charge from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, you'll add ~36 miles of range, which could be enough to get you to work and back.
59 Miles of Range in 10 Minutes with a 150kW DC Fast Charger
Charging Your Ford EV at Home
For faster battery refills, Ford offers two at-home charging solutions.
- Ford Connected Charge Station (240V/48A)
- Ford Charge Station Pro (240V/80A): Recommended for the Ford F-150 Lightning, the Ford Charge Station Pro enables up to 30 miles of range per hour (Extended Range models). However, the most significant advantage is that it enables Ford Intelligent Backup Power, allowing you to run your home off your truck in the event of an outage.
*Range and charge time based on manufacturer computer engineering simulations and EPA-estimated range calculation methodology. The charging rate decreases as battery reaches full capacity.
