What the End of the $7,500 EV Incentive Means to You

If you’ve been thinking about making the switch to a Ford EV (electric vehicle), now is the time. The federal EV incentive, which is currently available on models like the Mustang Mach-E®, F-150 Lightning®, and Escape® Plug-In Hybrid, is set to end September 30.

What Is the $7,500 EV Tax Incentive?

The federal EV tax credit, worth up to $7,500, is part of a national effort to encourage clean, efficient driving. Several Ford models currently qualify under the existing guidelines, including plug-in hybrids and full battery electric vehicles. Popular models like the Escape® Plug-In Hybrid may also qualify for a lesser credit.

At All Star Ford, we’re also offering special deals on all hybrids and EVs, giving you even more reasons to explore going electric. These incentives aren’t just about savings today. They’re about building a cleaner, more cost-efficient future.

EVs can dramatically reduce fuel and maintenance costs over time. Ford EVs like the Mustang Mach-E® and F-150 Lightning® are engineered for smooth performance, advanced technology, and the comfort and versatility drivers expect from Ford, without the gas station stops. With more public charging stations popping up across the Bay Area, the shift to electric is even easier than ever.

Ford Summer Sales Event

The Ford Summer Sales Event is happening now at All Star Ford in Pittsburg. Qualified buyers can take advantage of up to $7,500 in federal tax incentives on eligible Ford EVs and may be able to combine those savings with Ford’s Zero, Zero, Zero Summer Sales Event offers. And it’s not just EVs. Some of Ford’s most popular vehicles are available with:

  • $0 down payment
  • 0% APR for 48 months
  • 0 payments for 90 days*

This includes the legendary F-150®, the ever-capable Bronco®, the sporty Escape®, and the luxurious Expedition®.

Two Years of Complimentary Maintenance

In addition, Ford is including a 2-year Ford Protect Premium Maintenance Plan** on eligible new vehicles during the summer sales event. This complimentary coverage helps you stay on top of routine maintenance like oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections. It’s one more way Ford is making ownership easier and helping you keep your vehicle in great condition at no extra cost.
