Ford Electric Vehicle FAQs
01What is the cost of charging an electric car?
The charging cost of an EV depends on the latest local electricity rates. Typically, you can expect it to cost between $10-$20 to fully charge a typical electric car battery.
02How much distance can an electric car cover on a full charge?
While the range of an electric vehicle largely depends on model-specific specs and other factors, most new Ford EVs can cover anywhere between 200-300 miles on a full charge.
03How long does a home charge take for an electric car
Home charging times can differ based on the type of charger used. A Level 1 charger that plugs into a standard 120V AC outlet can take a day or more to fully charge an EV. In contrast, a Level 2 charger can reduce the full charge time drastically -- overnight is usually enough time to recharge a fully depleted EV using a Level 2 charger.
04How often does an electric car need recharging?
This varies depending on your car's range and your driving habits. Assuming your EV returns 200-300 miles of range on a full charge, you can feasibly go a few days to a full week between charges under regular driving conditions.
05How does weather affect electric vehicle performance?
While it's true that extreme temperatures can reduce battery effectiveness and thereby limit a vehicle's range, these impacts are usually minor. Technological advancements are constantly helping to minimize these effects, and already the newest Ford EVs for sale on our lot are much less susceptible to weather conditions than electric vehicles from just five or ten years ago.
