Ford Pro’s Latest Electric Vehicle Incentive Consultation Service: A Game-Changer for Commercial Customers
Buying an electric vehicle may seem like a simple process, but navigating the complex world of incentives for vehicle and charging equipment purchases can be a daunting task, especially for commercial customers. This is where Ford Pro’s new Electric Vehicle Incentive Consultation Service comes in, offering commercial buyers a comprehensive list of federal and regional incentives available for purchasing a new Ford electric vehicle.
The service not only helps customers discover rebates and tax credits for EV purchases but also includes incentives for charging equipment. Since its launch, the service has successfully helped customers uncover over $1.5 million in available incentives for EV purchases and an additional $40,000 for charging incentives.
For many small organizations that may not have the resources to track down all the overlapping federal tax credits, state grants, and utility rebates, this service is a game-changer. A recent survey conducted by Ford Pro revealed that only 46% of businesses had applied for government-funded rebates and incentives, while just 21% had sought government grants for EV purchases.
One success story includes a South Carolina in-home healthcare provider who was able to cover the full cost of installing a $25,000 DC fast charger for its EV fleet thanks to the consultation service. Similarly, an Illinois community college that purchased a Ford F-150 Lightning as a campus patrol vehicle received a free charger and an $8,000 rebate that covered the installation costs, along with a $7,500 EV incentive applied at the point of sale.
Deputy Chief Tracy Williams from the Joliet Junior College Police Department shared, “The rebate we were eligible for was proactively added upfront to our quote. This service was a significant help to our small department, allowing us to allocate resources more effectively and reduce the initial outlay.”
In addition to the Electric Vehicle Incentive Consultation Service, Ford Pro also offers the E-Switch Assist tool, which helps organizations identify combustion vehicles in their fleet that could be replaced with electric alternatives. The tool uses advanced algorithms to analyze factors such as distance driven, cargo load, efficiency, terrain, driver behavior, and more to estimate running costs and potential savings.
Overall, Ford Pro’s new Electric Vehicle Incentive Consultation Service is a valuable resource for commercial customers looking to maximize incentives for their EV purchases. With the help of this service, businesses can make informed decisions and take advantage of available incentives to make the switch to electric vehicles more cost-effective and sustainable.
