Benefits of Choosing Electrified in Shawnee, OK
Are you curious about why so many are making the switch to green vehicles? Hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles are no longer just “alternatives” to their gas-powered counterparts, but rather a growing market soon to rival traditional models. Ford has taken note and is leading the way in electrified innovation, producing models like the Escape Hybrid and Escape Plug-in Hybrid, Mustang Mach-E and even a hybrid engine option for the legendary F-150. And get ready for the first-ever all-electric pickup — the 2022 F-150 Lightning — and the only standard full hybrid pickup in America — the 2022 Maverick — coming soon to the Ford lineup. But what makes these electrified vehicles so great? Keep reading to discover why choosing an electrified Ford from Joe Cooper Ford of Shawnee could benefit you.
Benefits of Choosing Electrified
Eco-Friendly
It may not be on everyone’s mind, but one of the reasons why drivers are making the switch to hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles is that it gives the earth a little breather. The carbon footprint that we leave behind is expansive, so even little steps taken now can add up over time. Reduce your impact on the earth with impressive mpg and MPGe from your electrified Ford — like the EPA-estimated 44/37 city/highway MPGe from the 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid1 — and enjoy your low-emission vehicle!
Wallet-Pleaser
Money motivated? Us, too. You’ll like that by switching to an electrified vehicle, you’ll save long term, thanks to fewer stops at the pump. All of that efficiency translates into money saved when it comes to fuel costs, plus long-term maintenance savings should be factored into your decision, too. All-electric models (like the Ford Mustang Mach-E) operate without a standard engine, so those services required for their gas-powered counterparts aren’t needed. Say goodbye to oil changes, transmission fluid flushes and engine belt replacements!
Tax Incentives
But wait, you’ll save on upfront costs as well! When you purchase or lease an electrified vehicle, you can dramatically reduce your bottom line when you take advantage of federal and state tax incentives. To encourage the growing electrified auto market even more, the U.S. Department of Energy incentivized qualifying purchases, so there are rebates/credits available. Which ones do you qualify for? Start the process now by visiting the Alternative Fuels Data Center page and select the great state of Oklahoma.
Warranty
As if you need another, but here’s our final reason why you should be driving an electrified Ford model: the battery warranty. You may know already, but the battery warranty of some hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles can be better than the traditional new vehicle warranty. The Mustang Mach-E battery, for example, is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.2 Thanks to the generous warranty from Ford, you can buy with the confidence that your investment will be protected for a long time after purchase.
