At Lewis and Clark Ford in Yankton, we're excited to announce a groundbreaking development in the world of electric vehicles (EVs) that might just make you reconsider your next car purchase. Ford has taken a bold step forward, and we're proud to be a part of it.
Today, Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E retail customers have become the first among non-Tesla automakers to gain access to Tesla Superchargers throughout the U.S. and Canada. This partnership opens up over 15,000 Tesla Superchargers, effectively doubling the accessibility of reliable DC fast charging on the BlueOval™ Charge Network.
But why does this matter? According to a recent Cox Automotive Consumer Sentiment Study, the lack of charging stations ranks as the second most significant barrier to purchasing an electric vehicle, right after price. As EV prices continue to decrease, improving access to reliable fast charging becomes crucial in helping more customers confidently choose an EV.
To express gratitude to EV customers, Ford is offering the Fast Charging Adapter at no cost to new and existing customers enrolled in the BlueOval™ Charge Network until June 30, 2024. This adapter, required to charge at upgraded Tesla Superchargers, is an industry-first opportunity available exclusively to Ford retail EV customers.
Don't miss out on this offer! Reserve your Fast Charging Adapter today to ensure you're set up for seamless charging experiences. If you're a future Ford EV customer, you can purchase the adapter directly from Ford for $230, including estimated tax and shipping.
Even our Ford Pro commercial customers are included in this initiative. If you're a Ford Pro commercial customer, expect to be contacted this Spring to order your adapter, ensuring your fleet stays powered up and ready to go.
And it gets even better. The BlueOval™ Charge Network simplifies the charging process by providing a seamless stored payment account through the FordPass App or Charge Assist App (soon to be "Public Charge") in your vehicle's touchscreen. Once you've set up your account and activated Plug & Charge, Tesla Superchargers will support Plug & Charge with Ford EVs. This means all you have to do is plug in, and charging will automatically start, with charges managed through FordPass.
But that's not all. In the future, Ford will introduce next-generation electric vehicles with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector built-in, eliminating the need for an adapter to access Tesla Superchargers.
So, are you ready to make the switch to electric vehicles? With access to Tesla Superchargers, complimentary Fast Charging Adapters, and seamless charging experiences through the BlueOval™ Charge Network, there's never been a better time to join the electric revolution. Visit us at Lewis and Clark Ford in Yankton today to explore our lineup of F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E vehicles and embark on an electrifying journey towards a sustainable future.
