All Charged Up: Your EV Questions Answered by Red McCombs Ford

Thinking about going electric but still have a few questions? At Red McCombs Ford in San Antonio, we get it. EVs are powerful, efficient, and full of next-gen tech, but they also come with some “how does this work?” moments. That’s where we come in. We’ve got the answers, the vehicles, and the Texas know-how to help you plug in with confidence.

What Exactly Is an Electric Vehicle?

An electric vehicle (EV) runs entirely on electricity – no gas tank, no tailpipe, no oil changes. Instead of a traditional engine, you get a powerful electric motor paired with a high-capacity battery. That means smooth, quiet acceleration, low maintenance, and zero emissions.

If you're not quite ready to go all-in on electric, we also offer plug-in hybrid options. These models combine electric driving with a gas backup, giving you flexibility and fuel savings without the range anxiety.

Which Ford EVs Can I Check Out in San Antonio?

Ford’s electric lineup brings serious power and iconic design into the EV game. Whether you’re looking for a family SUV, a work-ready pickup, or something that does it all, we’ve got the right fit.

Top Electric Ford Models Include:

  • F-150 Lightning: The legendary truck, now all-electric, with towing capability and instant torque.
  • Mustang Mach-E: A sporty electric SUV with muscle, range, and unmistakable style.
  • E-Transit Van: Perfect for business owners looking to cut fuel costs and keep their fleet ahead of the curve.

These aren’t science projects. They’re Fords with the strength and smarts to handle Texas roads.

How Far Can I Go on a Single Charge?

Ford EVs are built for real-world driving. Range varies by model and configuration, but here’s what you can expect:

  • F-150 Lightning: Up to 320 miles of range available with the Extended-Range battery (varies by trim)
  • Mustang Mach-E: Up to 312 miles, depending on the battery and trim
  • E-Transit: Ideal for city routes with up to 126 miles of range

Whether you’re commuting across San Antonio, taking a Hill Country road trip, or running service routes, Ford EVs are built to keep up.

How and Where Do I Charge?

Charging is easier than ever, and there are multiple ways to do it:

  • Level 1: Uses a regular wall outlet. Best for overnight, low-mileage drivers.
  • Level 2: Uses a 240V outlet for faster home or public charging.
  • DC Fast Charging: The fastest option, available at public stations. Great for road trips and top-offs.

Need help setting up home charging? We’ve got recommendations, local support, and everything you need to get plugged in.

How Long Does Charging Take?

  • Level 1: Around 3–5 miles of range per hour
  • Level 2: About 20–30 miles per hour
  • DC Fast Charge: Adds up to 80% charge in roughly 30–45 minutes, depending on the model.

Perfect for plugging in at night, during lunch, or between appointments.

Is It Cheaper to Own an EV? You Bet.

EVs cut out tons of routine maintenance – no oil, no spark plugs, no exhaust systems. That means fewer trips to the shop and more money in your pocket. Federal tax credits may apply depending on the model and eligibility. Some Texas utility companies also offer EV-related rebates. Ask us for the latest updates. Our team can walk you through what you qualify for.

Can Ford EVs Handle the San Antonio Heat?

Absolutely. Ford EVs are built to thrive in all climates, including long, hot Texas summers. With built-in thermal battery management systems, your EV keeps performing whether it’s 40 or 104 outside.
