With electric vehicles becoming a larger part of the automotive conversation, it's natural to have questions. At our Ford dealership near Memphis, we're here to answer those questions for Arkansas and Tennessee drivers to help educate and guide you through your potential EV journey -- whether you're all-in on electric models like the Ford Mustang Mach-E or just curious to learn more.
Common Questions About Ford Electric Vehicles
01
How far can a Ford EV go?
Range anxiety is a top concern for many prospective EV owners. Thankfully, new Ford electric vehicles are designed for both everyday convenience and road trip confidence. With an increasing number of charging stations across the region, it's easier than ever to keep your battery charged and ready.
02
How long does it take to charge a Ford EV at home?
With a Level 2 home charger, most Ford EVs can be fully charged overnight. Level 1 chargers using standard outlets take longer, while public DC fast charging can offer up to an 80% charge in under an hour.
03
What are the cost savings of switching to an EV?
EV owners save on fuel, maintenance and long-term servicing. Electric motors have fewer moving parts, meaning fewer oil changes, less brake wear and lower overall maintenance costs.
04
How do EVs handle in Arkansas weather?
Modern EVs like the Mustang Mach-E are engineered to perform in all seasons. Battery management systems optimize efficiency during cold weather, and many Ford EVs offer heated interiors and steering wheels for winter comfort.
