Online Maps: Popular online mapping services like Google Maps or Waze often display EV charging stations alongside traditional gas stations. This functionality, often additionally integrated into your EV’s navigation system, allows you to factor charging stops into your journeys conveniently.

The Convenience of Home EV Charging
For maximum convenience, consider installing a home charging station. This allows you to recharge your Ford EV overnight, ensuring it’s fully prepared for daily commutes or weekend adventures. Here are some key factors to consider when exploring home EV charging.
Level 2 Charging: We recommend Level 2 home charging stations for most Ford EV models. Level 2 chargers offer significantly faster charging speeds than a standard household outlet (Level 1 charging), considerably reducing charging times.
Financial Incentives: Several government incentives and utility company rebates can help offset the cost of installing a home charging station. Aschenbach Ford can guide you toward these resources and help you determine the most cost-effective home charging solution for your Ford EV.
Best Practices for Optimal EV Charging
Here are some helpful tips to maximize the efficiency and lifespan of your Ford EV battery.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Whenever possible, park your Ford EV in a climate-controlled garage or shaded area. Extreme heat or cold can impact charging efficiency and battery health.
Maintain Optimal Battery Levels: Keeping your Ford EV battery charged between 20% and 80% is generally recommended for optimal battery health. Avoid letting the battery completely drain or remain fully charged for extended periods.
Utilize Scheduled Charging: Many Ford EVs allow you to schedule charging times. Take advantage of off-peak charging times to save money on charging costs.
