Myth 1: EVs Have Limited Range and Can't Go on Long Trips: This myth is often based on outdated information. The Mustang Mach-E® and F-150® Lightning® have an available EPA-estimated range of 240-320 miles on a full charge, depending on battery type and model.
Myth 2: Charging Takes Too Long: While charging times vary depending on the charger type (Level 1, Level 2, DC Fast Charging), many EVs can achieve a significant charge in a reasonable timeframe. Check out our charging blog to see more.
Myth 3: There Aren't Enough Charging Stations: Ford provides several options to be sure that you have total charging confidence wherever you go. Locate public chargers using the in-vehicle Public Charging app or the FordPass® app. * Plus Ford all-electric customers have simple and easy access to the BlueOval™ Charge Network – the largest integrated public charging network in North America with over 180,000 chargers and growing (with over 50,000 charging locations and growing). ** The BlueOval Charge Network has integrated with Electrify America and 20,000 Tesla Superchargers, † so you have even more options.
Myth 4: EVs Are Only Suitable for City Driving: Maybe at first, but not anymore. Modern EVs are capable of handling highway driving and longer trips, provided drivers plan their routes and utilize available charging stations.
Maximizing Your Range: Pre-conditioning your vehicle, maintaining consistent speeds, using climate control efficiently, and maintaining proper tire pressure can all help to extend your range.
