Ford makes it easy to own an Electric Vehicle from D’Orazio Ford
Ford Motor Company is fully invested in the electric vehicle lifestyle, investing money and resources into building an extensive infrastructure to support Ford EVs and hybrid vehicles. It’s an ambitious, comprehensive company plan that Ford has committed more than $50 billion toward through 2026. That includes Ford’s commitment to developing breakthrough EVs, manufacturing those vehicles, and securing the batteries and charging facilities to support them.
At D’Orazio Ford we’ve been able to help our customers transition to EVs thanks to Ford’s commitment since the push first began when Ford rolled out electric versions of its most popular vehicles: Ford Mustang, F-150 and Transit vehicles. And the momentum continues, as Ford continues to add more EV models. D’Orazio Ford is proud to offer the full line of these options.

So, how to keep your new EV charged and ready to roll? Ford makes it easy, with a variety of charge-at-home or charge-at-work choices and the impressive Ford BlueOval Charge Network- North America’s largest public charging network. The BlueOval network has more than 75,000 chargers spread out across the continent. Ford vehicles also offer cloud-connected navigation to tell you where the nearest charging stations are, give you directions to get there, and help you plot a trip charging plan with recommendations and easy charge payment via FordPass.
And of course, it all starts at an EV certified dealer. In the Wilmington, IL area, that’s D’Orazio Ford at 1135 South Water Street.
As an EV certified dealer, D’Orazio Ford is also home to an EV-certified vehicle service center. Our service technicians have extensive training on EV and hybrid vehicles, so you can trust that we will continue to support your vehicle purchase well after the sale.
Ford is leading the pack in commitment to EVs and carbon neutrality
As Ford Motor Company points out, `Ford has electric vehicle manufacturing footprints across the world. This includes four plants in North America, including the new Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Michigan and BlueOval City, an automotive manufacturing ecosystem in Tennessee, and two BlueOval SK battery plants in Kentucky, creating a total of 11,000 new American jobs. These facilities will reimagine how electric vehicles and batteries are designed, built and recycled – all Built for America.’
`Additionally, Ford is investing significantly to accelerate research and development of battery and battery cell technology. The company announced the establishment of the Ford Ion Park global battery center in southeast Michigan, where it will use state-of-the-art equipment to pilot new manufacturing techniques that will allow Ford to quickly scale breakthrough battery cell designs with novel materials once the company vertically integrates battery cells and batteries.
‘Ford also increased its investment in Solid Power, an industry-leading producer of all-solid-state batteries for electric vehicles. These batteries show great promise and are designed to power longer range, lower cost and safer electric vehicles using existing lithium-ion battery manufacturing infrastructure.’ -source: Ford Motor Company
