    Ford Power Confidence with FREE Level 2 Chargers installed with a Lease or Purchase of a Ford EV.

       It’s simple. Buy or lease a retail Ford Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning or E-Transit and take a complimentary home charger with you or have it delivered, and when you’re ready, an expert comes out to install it at no charge for a standard install. 

    Ford wants to be your EV choice!

    A Ford Survey was conducted from September 13th to 17th, 2024 covering a total of 2,007 respondents and highlighted the following:

    • Most respondents do not understand how home charging works.
    • Most respondents do not know where you would buy or how to get a home charger.
    • Most respondents do not understand how you go about getting the charger installed.
    • All respondents had no idea what the cost might be or if it was affordable to have a home charger installed.

    To quote Ford: "Ford believes it will take more than jumbo rebates to truly break through with the estimated 19 million people in the U.S. interested in electric vehicles. It will take – you guessed it – convenience, peace of mind, and expert service. It will take a modern-day version of the friendly filling station, only this time you “fill ’er up” at home."

    Ford Power Promise Anouncement today is the following,

    Home is where the charge is, On-the-Road charging with confidence, Battery Confidence, Ongoing support and guidance

    Ford has been focused on making public charging easier with the joining of the Tesla Supercharging station network added to the Ford BlueOval Charge Network and now they are taking this one step farther as federal rebates will not be enough for the bulk of folks looking to move over to an EV.

    People loved their old Bronco's, F100, F150 pickups, SUVs and cars, but gone are the days of stopping at a gas station and having the windshield cleaned, tire pressure checked, quart of oil added if needed by a team of attendants. Now you have to pump your own gas and pay an attendant sitting behind a plexiglass wall as you get your lottery tickets and energy drinks.

    People want less maintenance and easier filling up, Ford Power is going to deliver that with Home Charging and a superior experience via the BlueOval charge network.

    It's funny, they raise the monthly lease payment ~$220/mo but they'll give you a free $1300 charger + install. 

    The additional $8000 over 36 months waaaay more than pays for the charger and install.

      2027 Scout Traveler & Terra | Specs, EV Range, Off-Road Capability

      By ccap41 · Posted

      I want one of these so bad. I wouldn't even worry about the "range extended" version as the EV range will be sufficient enough for me. 350 miles of range is more than enough for me. I'd be fine with like 275+ miles of range.  My only issue is price and if I could swallow a 60-70k depreciating asset.  Oh, I guess my other issue is the dealership/maintenance/repair network situation. I know they're supposed to be building a repair network, but I still worry without any legacy-like established buildings. Yes, they claim to drive to you wherever you are and I'm sure that's only while under warranty, but what happens outside of warranty? Am I paying like a $500 bill to come to my house then to diagnose an issue?

      Everything I've read says they will support AA/CP.  I'd LOVE a Scout but I'm not sure if I could swallow the price.  I think it's a mistake to allow Chinese vehicles into Canada or the US.  You're right. They only have children working in near-slave-like conditions. Good point. 🙄

      EV Home Charging: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

      By ccap41 · Posted

      Just a weeeeee bit off of the price of vehicle difference..    6/32 is more than 20%. 2/32 is the legal wear marks and most street tires come brand new at 10-11/32. You've likely worn off 4/32 and have 4/32 remaining before the wear bars. If your tires are at 6/32, you're right at 50%.

      Welp, I started a new job in December and I will be driving close to 20k miles a year now. 300/week just to and from work = 15,000 + other regular driving will easily net 20,000 miles in a year now.

      Another neat Buick collonade variation was the '76 Century Indy Pace Car replica...t-tops, rear spoiler, covered quarter windows.
