Ways an Electric Truck Can Save You Money in Missouri
Electric cars and trucks are the talk of the town nowadays with the F150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach-E leading the charge. They're modern, powerful, environmentally friendly, and can ultimately save you a lot of money in ways you may not expect.
Take Advantage of Added Financial Incentives
Everyone benefits when you swap out a gas vehicle or a new electric one, so the financial rewards will come rolling in. These include A federal tax credit of up to $7,500. Take note, not all financial incentives will be available for older models or used vehicles with at least 20,000 miles on them.
Missouri currently doesn't offer additional incentives at the state level, but it may soon follow the example of such states as Montana, Texas, and Wisconsin to offer various financial rewards.
Regularly Save Money by Using Electricity Rather Than Gas
- Electricity is generally cheaper than gas. Broadly speaking, it costs half as much to operate an electric vehicle compared to its gas-based counterpart. In Missouri, gasoline is estimated to be $2.76 per gallon compared to $0.85 for an electric eGallon (as quoted by Energy.gov for November 2021). As of December 2021, the average regular gas price in St. Louis was $2.98 per gallon. Comparatively, a year ago was $1.86. While this jump is significant, it's worth noting that Missouri continues to have gas rates that are less than the national average. What's our point? Electric trucks and cars mean that you wouldn't have to worry about such fluctuations.
- Electricity adds efficiency, even for hybrid models. Multiple studies measured how much gas-based vehicles could travel per gallon versus their electric counterparts (using miles per gallon equivalent). Electric and hybrid vehicles won each and every time.
- You can charge your vehicle at home. Not only does this spare you a trip to the gas station, but you can conveniently charge your car or truck during non-peak hours so electricity rates are lower. And you're never far from your next charge. St. Louis, MO is part of the Clean Cities Coalition Network and has over 363 charging outlets available. The city recently signed new EV charging ordinances to ensure easy access to chargers, leading Missouri and the whole of the midwest towards a greener future. You can even stop by Bo Beuckman Quality Ford to use our very own EV charging station!

Benefit From Lower Maintenance Costs
A vehicle is the culmination of hundreds of parts that work in harmony. However, it's worth noting that electric vehicles actually utilize fewer components. This results in reduced maintenance needs and associated costs. In fact, over the lifespan of the vehicle, electric vehicles can reduce repair costs by half.
Learn About the F-150 Lightning, Ford's First Electric Truck
The latest iteration of the F150 is the talk of the town. This all-electric truck can tow an impressive 10,000 lbs with a maximum payload of 2,000 pounds. Drivers will appreciate ample room in both the back and front with the addition of the front-truck, affectionately dubbed the "Mega Power Frunk." Exciting interior features include the 15.5-inch touchscreen, fold-down workstations, and seats that lean back a full 180-degrees.

Hear From Fellow Ford Drivers Why They Chose Our Dealership
John from St. Charles
Brent and Jeff were awesome to work with. I had in my head exactly what I wanted, but also had reservations. Brent offered to allow us the opportunity to keep the vehicle we were looking at for a couple of days to make sure it was the vehicle for us.

This was our 5th vehicle to buy from Bo Beauckman Ford. We have always had great experiences with this dealership and our cars have always stood the test of time....we drive them until the wheels fall off.

Had a great experience when I traded a Ford Explorer for a new 2024 Edge. Becky was excellent in helping with the test drive, functions of the new car, and was very efficient and pleasant. The staff was personable and showed honest interest.
