EV Service & Maintenance
We understand that transitioning to an EV might raise questions about service and maintenance. While EVs offer a simpler driving experience, caring for them involves some key aspects.
Firstly, EV service differs from traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. While oil changes and engine tune-ups are no longer necessary, routine inspections are still crucial. These inspections typically involve checking the brakes, tires, suspension, and various fluid levels like the coolant system. Depending on the mileage or time interval, the manufacturer might recommend additional checks on the electric motor and battery system.
Secondly, EV maintenance focuses on preserving the battery life and overall performance of your vehicle. This includes simple practices like maintaining proper tire pressure, which improves efficiency and range. Additionally, following recommended charging habits can significantly impact battery health. Avoiding extreme temperatures during charging and minimizing "fast charging" whenever possible are helpful practices.
Finally, taking care of your EV goes beyond routine service and maintenance. It involves adopting eco-friendly driving habits. Utilizing regenerative braking whenever possible can help extend the driving range and reduce wear on the traditional brakes. Additionally, maintaining a clean and organized interior helps prevent unnecessary weight and improves efficiency.
At Mike Castrucci Ford, our dedicated service team is specially trained to handle your Ford EV's needs. We offer comprehensive service packages and knowledgeable guidance on maintaining your EV for optimal performance and longevity. Let's embrace the electric future, together, with confidence and peace of mind.

Environmental Benefits of Owning an EV
Our team is committed to helping you navigate the exciting world of electric vehicles. But beyond the thrill of a new driving experience, electric vehicles offer significant environmental benefits that contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet.
One of the most impactful advantages of owning an EV is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, directly contributing to cleaner air and improved public health, especially in urban areas. This translates to a significant decrease in harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, leading to a reduction in respiratory illnesses and other health issues.
Furthermore, EVs promote energy independence and sustainability. By relying on electricity, a resource that can be generated from renewable sources like solar and wind power, EVs lessen our dependence on fossil fuels. This not only reduces our reliance on a finite resource but also mitigates the environmental impact associated with extracting and refining traditional fuels.
Owning an EV also fosters conservation of natural resources. The transition towards electric mobility reduces our reliance on crude oil, a non-renewable resource. This helps preserve this precious resource for future generations and minimizes the environmental damage associated with its extraction and transportation.

- Fueling Freedom: One of the most impactful factors is the reduced reliance on gasoline. With soaring fuel prices, EVs offer a significant advantage. By charging your Ford EV at home or using public charging stations, you'll experience substantial savings on fuel costs over the lifetime of the vehicle.
- Lower Maintenance Needs: Unlike gasoline vehicles that require regular oil changes, spark plug replacements, and other maintenance services, EVs boast simpler powertrains with fewer moving parts. This translates to reduced maintenance costs and fewer trips to the service center, saving you both time and money.
- Energy Efficiency: Compared to gasoline engines, electric motors are significantly more energy-efficient. This translates to lower electricity costs per mile driven, adding another layer to the long-term savings equation.
- Beyond the Numbers: Owning a Ford EV empowers you to contribute to a cleaner environment. By reducing your carbon footprint, you're not just saving money; you're investing in a sustainable future for generations to come.
