Ford and TXU Energy Offer Texas EV Drivers Free Home Charging in New 'Free EV Miles' Program
  • Enrollment for the Free EV Miles program is currently open, and interested drivers can find more information at TXU's website.

  • Ford has teamed up with TXU Energy to launch the TXU Free EV Miles program in Texas, which offers free home charging for eligible EV drivers.

  • The program allows Ford EV drivers to charge their vehicles at home for free from 7 PM to 1 PM the following day, providing an 18-hour charging window.

  • This initiative is aimed at reducing home charging costs for Texas customers and is available year-round, reflecting the state's growing trend in EV adoption.

  • Texas residents purchased more EVs than residents of 47 other states last year, indicating a significant shift towards electric vehicles.

  • Eligible vehicles for the program include the 2021 or newer Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, Escape PHEV, and Lincoln plug-in hybrids.

  • With over 80% of EV charging occurring at home, this program can significantly lower energy costs for Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning owners.

  • Participants will automatically receive rebates for at-home charging that occurs during the designated free hours once they are verified and enrolled.

  • Upon enrollment, drivers will receive a total of $350 in bonuses: $100 from Ford and $250 from TXU for maintaining their enrollment for one year.

  • Ford aims to educate Texans about the benefits of electric vehicles through this initiative, which is being described as 'first-of-its-kind.'

  • This initiative is part of TXU Energy's strategy to promote EV ownership and enhance grid resiliency.
