Benefits of Choosing Electrified
Eco-Friendly
One of the more obvious benefits of owning an electric vehicle is the environmental impact it makes. Gas-powered cars release emissions that become a daily hazard to the planet we call home. This negative impact will be lessened thanks to MPGe estimates of some vehicles reaching 45-50, and there are others that qualify as zero-emission models, which means that no fuel is burned to create the energy to power it. With the constant carbon footprint we’re all inevitably leaving on the earth, this transportation alternative is one step closer to significantly reducing it.
Wallet-Pleaser
Imagine skipping the gas station during your daily commute? That can be possible with an all-electric vehicle! Naturally, this is a perk for your wallet since you’ll minimize the stops at the gas pump that always start to add up in your bank account. Say goodbye to the annoying oil changes, transmission fluid flushes and engine belt replacements — EV engines don’t come equipped with your typical gas-powered engine maintenance requirements. This will help you significantly save in the long run and eliminate those hefty service bills! These perks alone show that making the switch is a no-brainer.
Tax Incentives
As an added bonus when you purchase an EV, you’ll get to lower your bottom line thanks to qualifying federal and state tax incentives. This is accomplished through the U.S. Department of Energy as they’ve incentivized electrified auto purchases in order to build and maintain the market, so rebates and credits are available. If you’re unsure on what incentives you qualify for, simply visit the Alternative Fuels Data Center page and select your state to begin.
Warranty
This may be a lesser-known fact, but electrified vehicles come with incredible warranties (they’re often better than gas-powered car warranties)! Depending on the model you choose, Ford provides a limited warranty for unique components that come with hybrid and electric vehicles (like the battery). This coverage lasts for up to eight years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first). Ford understands that this is a big investment, so you’ll be covered for years after your purchase and cruise stress-free.
There are many reasons why you should consider an electrified vehicle when you’re ready to start shopping.
