Busting Electric Vehicle Myths with Rogers Ford

Ever found yourself driving down Wadley Avenue in Midland, curious about the sleek, silent Ford Mustang Mach-E zipping by? Or maybe you've seen the robust Ford F-150 Lightning truck cruising around Grande Stadium. You're not alone. As the wave of electric vehicles (EVs) sweeps across Midland, many residents share questions and myths about EVs. Rogers Ford is here to debunk some of these myths, reinforcing why Ford's EV lineup is just right for Midland's streets and beyond.

1. Electric Vehicles Aren't Fast Enough

This is a common myth. Most people might be surprised to learn that over 90% of Americans and Europeans aren't aware of the quick acceleration capabilities of electric vehicles. Electric propulsion offers “instant torque,” allowing electric vehicles to accelerate impressively. Imagine cruising effortlessly through the intersections of Midkiff Road or making a speedy departure from Hogan Park Golf Course – Ford EVs are designed to deliver that thrilling experience!

2. EVs Require Gasoline

An astounding 42% of Americans believe EVs might still need gas. The truth is simpler and far more convenient. EVs, like the Ford Mustang Mach-E or E-Transit van, run purely on electricity stored in their state-of-the-art batteries. Once you transition to electric, there's no going back to the local ALON. Imagine charging your vehicle in the comfort of your home, much like your smartphone, and then setting out for a drive to Odessa without a single pitstop.

3. Electric Vehicles Aren't Suitable for Extreme Weather

Contrary to this belief, electric vehicles are rigorously tested for extreme conditions. Whether it's a chilly winter evening in Midland or the heat of a sun-soaked summer day, Ford's EVs are designed to tackle it all. You might be surprised to know that places with extreme climates, from the cold terrains of Norway to the hot stretches of Southern California, are thriving markets for EVs.

4. EVs Aren't Capable of Towing and Hauling

Ford's DNA is imbued with toughness and capability. Two-thirds of people question the towing and hauling capabilities of EVs. Yet, the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning, for instance, is rated for a maximum 10,000 lbs towing capacity when properly equipped. With Ford's legacy, be assured that electric doesn’t mean compromising on power.

5. EVs Are Inconvenient to Charge

Charging an electric vehicle is easier than you think. Over 80% of charging occurs at home, eliminating frequent trips to fuel stations. Imagine waking up every morning with a fully charged Ford, ready to tackle your day, be it a trip to the Midland Park Mall or a day out in Big Spring.
