Benefits of Choosing Electric
Benefits of Choosing Electric
There are a lot of great electrified options in the Ford lineup — the 2021 Escape Hybrid, 2021 Escape Plug-in Hybrid, 2021 Mustang Mach-E and even the 2021 F-150 Hybrid. Upcoming is the 2022 F-150 Lightning, a first-ever all-electric pickup truck, and the all-new 2022 Ford Maverick, soon to be the only standard full hybrid pickup truck in America. There are a lot of amazing benefits to choosing an electrified vehicle, no matter which brand you choose — a new Ford from our inventory or a quality pre-owned car, truck or SUV from our used inventory. Driving an eco-friendly model you love offers so much more than you realize. Electrified models are being produced rapidly, courtesy of their increasing popularity and technological innovations. With each passing year, we see more added to our inventories. Want to learn more about what a non-gas-powered vehicle can offer you? Keep reading!
Eco-Friendly
Whether you choose a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or an all-electric vehicle, the first (and one of the best reasons) why you should consider one for your next purchase is that they are more environmentally friendly. You can reduce your impact on the earth thanks to MPGe estimates of some vehicles reaching 40-50, and there are others that qualify even as zero-emission models. What does that mean? Absolutely no fuel is burned to create the energy to power the vehicle. While we all leave behind some kind of footprint on the earth, make sure yours is significantly reduced.
Wallet-Pleaser
There's also a fiscal perk to being environmentally conscious with your vehicle choice — it can actually save you money in the long run. It really adds up when you don't have to make so many stops at the gas station, saving you time spent at the pump and money in your budget. You should also consider the long-term savings on maintenance, as well. All-electric models operate without a standard engine, so services like oil changes, transmission fluid flushes and engine belt replacements are a thing of the past.
Tax Incentives
There are upfront savings with the purchase or lease of an electrified vehicle. You can lower your bottom line with qualifying federal and state tax incentives. The U.S. Department of Energy has incentivized electrified auto purchases to help build and maintain the market, meaning there are rebates and credits available. Curious about what incentives you could qualify for? Visit the Alternative Fuels Data Center page and select your state to begin.
Warranty
You may not already know, but the final reason we have for purchasing an electrified vehicle is the amazing warranty — which is often better than its gas-powered counterpart. For example, the Mach-E battery comes covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.* Buying or leasing an electrified vehicle is a huge deal, and thanks to the gracious warranty from Ford, it will be protected for a long time.
There are many reasons why you should consider an electrified vehicle when you’re ready to start shopping.
