The boom in the popularity of alternative fuel vehicles can't be understated. Many companies are diving head-first into providing different types of hybrid or electric models for different types of drivers across wide market segments—and one such brand is Ford.
The Blue Oval has been working tirelessly to convert or introduce existing and new nameplates to the market for shoppers looking to buy something environmentally friendly, quiet, and with great range. This is excellent news for fans of the brand who have been wanting to peruse Ford EVs across different market segments.
Whether you're looking to spruce up your commute with something you can charge overnight or are looking to reduce your trips to the gas pump when traveling in a full-size vehicle, Ford has a solution for you. Even better yet, at Kings Ford, we can provide you with the proper shopping tools and sales expertise to pair you with the perfect Ford EV or hybrid. All you have to do is take the first step: visit our dealership and be on your way to an electrified future.
Ford has been building, establishing, evolving, and expanding their lineup of alternative fuel vehicles for many years; this extends beyond Ford's foray into producing vehicles with natural gas, biodiesel, flex-fuel, and propane autogas. Ford's hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models offer a unique capability to combine aspects of traditional combustion engine technology with battery-powered propulsion. These models include some of Ford's most popular nameplates across multiple market segments, offering different ways of travel.
The Ford Fusion has been one of the most prominently featured plug-in hybrid models from Ford, combining their patented EcoBoost technology with a battery pack that powers an electric motor. This combination resulted in a four-door sedan with great range, tech, and comfort features. The Ford Fusion is an excellent cross between a family vehicle and a great commuter car, making it a hybrid that appeals to those who enjoy style, luxury, and something feature-rich enough for daily driving.
The Ford Escape is another plug-in hybrid, adding a lot of appeal to the compact SUV segment. It brings with it plenty of cargo capacity and seating for up to five people across two rows; it has a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) paired with an electric motor powered by a battery pack. Much like the Ford Fusion, you get excellent range and versatility out of the Ford Escape, but with the added bonus of additional towing capacity, passenger volume, and cargo volume.
The Ford Maverick is one of the most popular nameplates in this brand's recent history. The cost-effective, do-it-yourself style of the Maverick has given it a lot of appeal among those who not only want a work truck that is reliable right out of the gate but also for those who want a truck that offers all of the environmental and long-range benefits of a hybrid. The combination of an electric motor with an ICE gives the Maverick the sort of gas mileage you would expect from a compact SUV but with many of the utilitarian expectations of a pickup truck.
The F-150 is also available as a hybrid thanks to Ford's PowerBoost technology, which combines traditional gas-powered functionality with a battery pack and electric motor. As a result, you get a vehicle that offers you the best of both worlds, with an amazing travel range as well as the dependability of a standard light-duty pickup for towing, trailering, and hauling. The hybrid F-150 also manages to retain all of the functionality and feature sets from the standard model, including being available in multiple drivetrain and cab configurations.
For families looking to get the most out of their travels while also saving big at the gas pump, the Ford Explorer Hybrid offers three rows of passenger capacity and a strong combination of gas- and battery-powered propulsion. Combining an ICE with an electric motor provides you with different drivetrain configurations, plenty of power, and thousands of pounds worth of towing capacity. A robust infotainment suite and lots of cargo space across the three rows make the Explorer Hybrid a strong choice for those who want great fuel economy out of a larger SUV without sacrificing its functionality or capabilities.
Battery-operated electric vehicles (BEVs) are a type of alternative fuel option for those who don't want anything to do with an internal combustion engine. The benefit of a BEV is that you completely do away with fossil fuel and refill your vehicle entirely via plug-in chargers. Ford has a selection of BEVs across their alternative fuel lineup, giving you an opportunity to explore some of your favorite nameplates in a completely different way.
The Ford Mustang has been around for many decades, signifying a staple in Ford's lineup as an affordable pony car. However, the Blue Oval's engineers took a drastic step in exploring the Mustang's capabilities as a BEV, rightfully called the Mustang Mach-E. This is not a pony car but rather an all-electric crossover SUV available across multiple trims in multiple motor and battery configurations.
The Mach-E is designed to give drivers an opportunity to take advantage of the Mustang's legendary performance capabilities while also providing a lot of domestic features you would expect from a compact SUV, such as two-row seating for up to five passengers and multiple storage compartments, including a frunk. The Mustang Mach-E is that BEV that sits at the cross-section between being a great family vehicle and a daily driver with plenty of range as a high-performance SUV.
Ford has also taken to expanding the F-Series by turning the F-150 into an all-electric truck, the F-150 Lightning. This battery-powered full-size pickup truck is designed to give truck drivers a vehicle that can still tow and haul just as you would expect from a gas-powered or hybrid F-150 but with all of the benefits of a BEV; that means no more having to head to the gas pump to refill, as you can make use of a public or home charger to keep your F-150 Lightning powered up and on the road.
This vehicle's available battery packs are also designed to accommodate working as a mobile power station, enough to keep a house powered for a few days. The added utility of the frunk—as well as advanced hands-free driving technology like BlueCruise—just adds to the overall value of this electric F-150. That's not to mention that you get over-the-air updates to keep your vehicle at the cutting edge of Ford's latest features and enhancements.
The Ford E-Transit is perfect for those looking for a commercially viable cargo or transport vehicle that runs entirely on electricity. Available in three different height configurations and powered entirely by a battery pack, the E-Transit is a great vehicle for your budding or expanding business. Alternatively, it works well as a cargo transport if you do a lot of deliveries during your day job or a side gig. With the Pro-Power Onboard functionality, Ford SYNC infotainment suite, and E-Telematics monitoring, you have a very robust and reliable all-electric transport van available in the E-Transit.

There are a lot of questions and concerns that prospective EV shoppers have about an alternative fuel vehicle. Whether you buy a hybrid or a BEV, there are some common questions you might have before you commit to a purchase. Here are some of your most pressing questions about Ford EV ownership and what it means for you...
“Are there any benefits to owning a Ford EV compared to an ICE vehicle?” With Ford EVs, you don't have to bring them in for maintenance as often as ICE vehicles; this is because they don't have as many mechanical components that can fail, so you can drive them for longer and don't have to worry about replacing or repairing as many parts.
“How often do Ford EVs require service?” EV service intervals will be based on the owner's manual for that model year EV. Depending on the configuration and trim and how often you drive it will determine how frequently it may need to be serviced. Typically you will only need to bring it in for regular service when it's time to get the tires rotated or a dealer-administered over-the-air update.
“Can you charge a Ford EV anywhere?” Yes, so long as the charger or outlet you're using is compatible with your EV model. You can use public charging stations for top-offs, or you can charge from a compatible outlet while you're at a friend's house if they let you, or you can charge at home. You have lots of charging options with EV models.
“Can you charge your Ford EV at home?” There are multiple ways to charge at home, including Level 1 and Level 2 charging; the former charges from a standard three-prong outlet, and the latter from a comparable but larger outlet used for household appliances. If you don't have a dedicated charging unit, we can help you shop for the right kind to have it installed in your home.
“Can I charge my Ford EV overnight or use non-proprietary chargers?” You can definitely charge your EV overnight. Also, Ford EVs are capable of using all general-purpose public chargers, as well as the proprietary Ford chargers that are available to purchase. What's more, there are adapters for you to use non-proprietary chargers, so you have lots of options when charging your EV.
“Can I drive an EV year-round?” You absolutely can. While it's important to ensure you have the right tires equipped for rainy and snowy weather, EVs are more than capable of handling all four seasons. If you're worried about driving during particularly cold winters, you can have your vehicle serviced ahead of time to ensure you'll get the most functionality.
Financing an alternative fuel vehicle can seem like a daunting task for those who have not purchased one before. It's like stepping into the unknown, but it doesn't have to feel like a risk; we're here to help you navigate the waters for owning a Ford EV, and that means having experts from our financial department break down and explain all the ins and outs of owning an EV and securing the right financing opportunities.
There are some differences in what you can expect from financing an EV compared to a standard vehicle, but it doesn't mean that you can't get the best rates and deals available when financing an EV. We'll match you with the right lenders that have great rates so you can acquire the best loan-to-value ratio from your purchase, as well as the most equitable down payment options for your EV.
You can use our online payment calculator to figure out how your current finances fit into what you can afford so as to figure out ahead of time what your EV payment ceilings will be. Even more, we have an instant calculator for what your EV buying power is, giving you a good indication of what works best with your finances and your projected budget for a new or used EV based on the monthly payments of the EV you want. You can even get a valuation on your current vehicle and apply it toward something new. No matter what, we can help you find a way to afford the EV that you want.
Maintenance for EVs is very different from maintaining an ICE or hybrid model. EVs require specific kinds of maintenance, and not just any mechanic out there can keep your Ford EV running as it should; this is why you should bring it to our service center, where our trained and certified technicians can help you keep your Ford EV tuned and operating optimally. Our mechanics are available not only for regularly scheduled maintenance according to your Ford EV's owner's manual, but we can also help answer questions regarding service care, warranties, and Ford's over-the-air EV updates.
Some of the maintenance that you may need for a Ford EV will include wheel alignments, tire changes, software diagnostics, battery checks, and filter replacements. We also handle other maintenance needs for an EV, such as brake kit replacements, brake fluid inspections, steering column alignment, half-shaft dust boot integrity, axle integrity, and hoses. While the maintenance requirements may be slightly different from what an ICE model requires, it still needs an expert technician to know what to look for and what needs to be replaced or repaired.
We make sure that our service center is capable of identifying any potential issues you might encounter with your Ford EV; then, we'll attempt to rectify issues before they become problems. We administer the necessary checks, updates, and balances so you get the most out of your EV throughout your ownership. For us, it's all about helping you to achieve maximum longevity out of your Ford.
Don't let another minute pass by where you're thinking about but not acting on your desire to own a Ford EV. Whether you're shopping for a new or used model, you can definitely find exactly what you're looking for from Ford's illustrious lineup at Kings Ford.
