Driving an EV means that you’ll enjoy the convenience of never having to worry about things like drive belt replacements, oil changes, spark plug replacements, or many other common items associated with servicing a conventional gas-powered model.

Electric Vehicle Service - FAQ
Is it more expensive to have my EV serviced compared to a conventional model?
Absolutely not! In fact, many of the most common maintenance items like an oil change are not required on electric vehicles. While you’ll still need things like filter replacements, wiper blade replacements, or tire rotations – servicing your EV is often quite cheaper compared to a traditional vehicle.
Should I bring my EV to a specialized dealership when it needs service or maintenance?
Since your Ford EV is a specialized machine, it’s only natural that you’d want only specialized care when it’s time for maintenance or service. Due to their nature, it’s always our suggestion to have your EV serviced only at authorized Ford dealerships like Preferred Ford of Grand Haven. Since the battery packs and wiring harnesses feature extremely high voltages, it’s essential that only a Ford-certified technician cares for your EV.
Is my new Ford EV covered by a factory warranty?
Yes! In addition to the unrivaled efficiency you’ll enjoy as a Ford EV owner, you’ll also receive the long-lasting confidence and peace of mind that comes from dedicated warranty coverage. Ford Motor Company offers warranty coverage for components unique to hybrid and electric vehicles, including the high voltage battery, found to be defective in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. This coverage lasts for 8 years or 100,000 miles from the Warranty Start Date, whichever occurs first.
Electric Vehicle Service Costs
While we’ve touched on this topic already, many potential EV shoppers are concerned with whether or not an EV is more expensive to maintain compared to a traditional internal combustion model. It’s certainly true that you’ll save on routine maintenance items as well as major service intervals by driving an EV since they have fewer moving parts than a gas-powered model. Combined with significant savings on fuel, owning and driving an electric vehicle may be a more attractive option than you might have considered! It’s just another reason why more and more drivers are making the switch to a Ford EV!
