Price is a barrier to the take-up of EVs, so Ford has reduced it electric vehicle pricing by a considerable margin. Ford Mustang Mach-E all-electric SUV and E-Transit all-electric van will both drop by between $7,000 and $15,000.

But wait, there’s more.

Home and public charging of the Ford EVs also gets a boost, no pun intended.

Mustang Mach-E will no costs $64,990 for the Select, $79,990 for Premium, and the range-topping GT is now $97,990, drops of $8,000, $7,000 and $7,000 respectively. Not forgetting the commercial buyers, E-Transit all-electric van has had a $15,000 reduction to $89,990 from $104,990.

“These MLP price reductions offer even greater value to our customers and it makes these great vehicles an option for more people,” said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO of Ford Australia and New Zealand.

ABOVE: Ford EVs now have lowered prices and EVIE charging

Ford’s arrangement with EVIE is two-fold: home and away charging.

EVIE  will install a home wall box and provide the owner with public fast charging vouchers at EVIE branded public chargers. There are many public charging networks and electric vehicles are never too far from an outlet while in town.

“Being able to avoid the cost and inconvenience of the petrol station and just plug in while you’re at home is a big value-add for EV owners, so helping our customers to facilitate home charging while they’re at the Ford dealer makes perfect sense,” said Mr Birkic.

It is worth noting the slower AC charging is better for battery health, and despite manufacturer claims, topping up to 80% is still best practice. If you need more charge for a longer journey by all means go right 100%. The other battery killer is it being stored for a long time at full charge. If leaving the vehicle for an extended time, like an ICE vehicle, make sure someone is looking after it. For vehicles without bi-directional charging, a regular drive helps. Vehicles with bi-directional charging remain plugged in and will take care of themselves.
