Drivers in California or Maryland who purchase or lease a 2016 Ford C-MAX Energi are eligible for three years of free car charging from the car company.
The EV 1-2-3 Charge incentive is being offered through a partnership with EVgo charging stations across the United States. In order to take advantage of this offer, drivers are able to use a EV 1-2-3 Charge card to access unlimited four-four car charging sessions. In total, it only takes about 2.5 hours to fully charge the electric C-MAX Energi vehicle.
As well as encouraging the public to see the benefits of driving an electric vehicle, the incentive program also plays a part in reducing some of the costs of ownership.
