Ford Motor Company is hoping to boost sales of its electric vehicles (EVs) by giving away free at-home charging stations, executives announced this week.
“Auto shoppers say they’re more likely to buy an electric vehicle if they could fill up at home. So we’re going to make it easy for our customers,” Ford CEO Jim Farley wrote on X:
If you buy or lease a new [Ford] electric vehicle, we’ll include a complimentary home charger. This is part of something we’re calling the Ford Power Promise, which is about giving our electric vehicle customers convenience, peace of mind and expert service. [Emphasis added]
Those buying or leasing a Ford EV in the fourth quarter will receive a free at-home charging station and installation. Should the offer do well, Farley said it could be extended into the next year.
If and/or when the homeowners learn that a home charger takes about 2days to charge and costs $$$$$$$,, this will be a dead issue.
Over priced junk!
No thanks! It will take more than that to get me to buy an EV!
Electric vehicles will be suitable for me when the Maryland State Police have converted totally to electric …. maybe.
I wouldn’t have one if they gave it to me!
