Ford is the No.2 Electric Vehicle brand in the U.S.
“Our job is to help our customers understand the benefits of different types of vehicles so they can decide what is best for them,” said San Tan Ford Dealer Principal Tim Hovik. “For many customers, electric offers more satisfaction and less stress because you can fill up at home with electricity, which can save time and money.”
“Ford already leads the industry in pickups and icons like Bronco and Mustang, and segment-defining SUVs like Explorer which our customers love,” he said. “We’re now finding that Ford’s electric SUVs and trucks work for customers looking to save on gas and maintenance and still want to enjoy their drive home in a fast and comfortable Ford.”
“I came in for a gas vehicle,” says new electric SUV customer Michelle Hodges from Phoenix. “At the dealership, we talked about my driving needs, and I found electric was a great option. It made sense, so I’m all in. It cracks me up that I can now fill up in my own garage. I just love it.”
