How Long Do Electric Cars Last?

Electric vehicles are powered by their batteries, and most electric vehicles have an expected battery life of at least ten years and at most twenty years.

Different circumstances can impact the lifespan, such as extreme heat or overuse, as it would impact a gasoline vehicle's battery.

How Does Electric Range Work?

With an electric vehicle, the battery needs to have a charge for the vehicle to operate. The length of the battery life is also known as the range.

Each range differs per vehicle, but Ford is proud to host some spectacular potential.

With a fully charged battery, you can drive a Ford Mustang Mach-E, for example, with an EPA-estimated range that starts at 247 miles. This might go up to an optional EPA-estimated 310-mile range, depending on your trim level.

That gives you plenty of road to drive before you have to charge up again.

What Type of Charging Should I Use?

There are plenty of different types of electric charging that you may be able to take advantage of, with the three key ones being:

• Level 1 charging
• Level 2 charging
• DC Fast charging

Level 1 charging is standard for most models and convenient for at-home needs. Level 2 charging is usually an upgrade and can take the form of a wall box installed at home (such as in a garage) for an even faster charge.

DC Fast charging is what you're most likely to find at public charging stations, giving you the fastest possible charge.

So, what charging you should use all depends on what you need; there are plenty of options.

Are EV Rides Safe?

Electric vehicles are as safe as traditional gasoline ones. They too go through rigorous inspections to guarantee their quality with warranties backing up their condition.

In addition, these new models can also be equipped with some exciting safety bonuses and drive assists that you can take advantage of on your commute!

Are Electric Vehicles the Future?

Signs are pointing in that direction. More and more electric vehicles are coming out each year in all types of styles.

Whether you're looking for a reliable sedan, an off-roading SUV, or even a capable truck, it will be easy to discover an exciting electric model to help you get where you want to be.
