Guide to Charge Your Ford Electric Vehicle at Capitol Ford

Welcome to Capitol Ford's comprehensive guide to charging your Ford electric vehicle! Whether you've recently purchased your first electric Ford or are considering making the switch to green mobility, it's essential to understand the charging process and resources available at Capitol Ford.

Charging your Ford electric vehicle (EV) is a straightforward process, and with the right information, it becomes just as simple as refueling a traditional gas-powered car. Below, we'll cover what you need to know about charging your Ford EV and the available resources at our dealership.

Understanding the Charging Process

Your Ford electric vehicle relies on a high-capacity battery pack that needs to be charged periodically to keep you on the move. The charging process for Ford EVs typically involves three main steps:

  1. Connect the charger to your vehicle: Depending on your charging station, you may need to use either the charging cable supplied with your vehicle or one that comes with the charging station itself. Plug one end of the cable into your vehicle's charging port, located on the front left or right side of the car.
  1. Activate the charging station: Once connected, you will need to activate the charging station. To do this, simply follow the instructions provided at the charging station, which may involve swiping a membership card or using a smartphone app.
  1. Monitor the charging progress: Once charging begins, you'll be able to monitor the progress either on your vehicle's dashboard or through the FordPass™ app. When the battery reaches your desired charging level, simply unplug the charging cable and you're ready to hit the road!
Tip: Remember to always unplug the charger and store the charging cable securely in your vehicle once the charging process is complete.

Charging your Ford electric vehicle is a simple and stress-free process once you become familiar with the necessary steps. At Capitol Ford, we're always eager to help our customers get the most out of their electric driving experience. If you have any questions or require further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to our dealership for expert guidance and support. Happy charging!
