Why Buy a Ford EV in New Jersey

One of the best reasons to buy an electric Ford is the savings you can get! From all the potential tax incentives to all the money you can save at the pump and on maintenance, your Ford EV will be a net positive for your wallet. The Mustang Mach-E alone can see you over $14,500 over five years. If you need to charge your Ford electric vehicle, then be sure to check out America's largest public charging network with more than 75,000 chargers. You can also plug in at home overnight, so you will be ready to go for the next day. Then there is the technology! All Ford electric vehicles will allow you to go hands-free for the touchscreen; thanks to the Ford BlueCruise and all the extra space, you can store things under your hood, which Ford calls a frunk. On long trips, the FordPass Power my Trip feature will keep your charge level in mind and suggest convenient charging locations along your route. Finally, Ford EV Roadside Assistance will be there to help you if your battery ever runs out, as Ford will help you get to the next sharing station. 

The Charge Up New Jersey Program helps promote clean vehicle adoption in the state and offers incentives for up to $4,000 to purchase or lease a new and eligible zero-emission Ford, which includes electric and plug-in hybrid electric. The goal is to shift away from gasoline, and diesel use as electric vehicles create many environmental and economic benefits, such as less air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. New Jersey residents can take advantage of the Charge Up New Jersey incentive directly at Fullerton Ford and apply the incentive instantly to the purchase or lease at the point of sale. To be considered for the program, the vehicle must be registered in your name and with the state of New Jersey, and you will need to provide proof of residency with your driver's license.
