New Ford Electric Lineup near Chesapeake, VA
Our electric vehicle dealer near Chesapeake, VA, offers the Mustang Mach-E, a Ford EV crossover with up to 320 miles of EPA-estimated range on a full charge.* If you drive from Chesapeake to Virginia Beach and back in a day, you’d likely use half its battery—or less on cooler days. The Mach-E earned Car and Driver’s first-ever EV of the Year award for 2021 for its blend of fun driving and everyday usability.**
The F-150 Lightning delivers the tried-and-true F-150 truck experience in electric form. It offers EPA-estimated mileage up to 320 miles per charge.*** Unlike many other EVs, it handles towing and hauling tasks well, making it ideal to carry tools or kayaks from the Elizabeth River Marina or haul equipment around town.
The Escape Plug-In Hybrid offers options if a full EV range initially seems too much. It has available all-wheel drive and an electric range for short commutes to Sentara hospital, and a gasoline backup for longer miles when needed. Hybrid owners often claim long life with less charging anxiety, and AWD helps on rainy Tidewater days.
Navigate Our EV Center
Explore our EV Center, and you can explore digital kiosks showing local public charging near Chesapeake Square or along Military Highway. You’ll see how Ford connects its vehicles to charger networks and support tools. Real-life examples include finding the nearest DC fast charger before a trip over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
Our EV specialists explain battery range vs. total trip mileage in familiar terms. They show how regenerative braking recaptures energy when slowing for the red lights at Greenbrier Parkway and Military Highway intersections.
Financing Your EV
The Payment Calculator tool helps shoppers see monthly costs right up front. You enter the price, down payment, trade-in value, and the loan term. Then it displays estimated payments. It’s great to compare Mach-E vs. F-150 Lightning costs for your Chesapeake commute.
You can complete a finance application online to start the pre-qualification process before visiting. That speeds things up and helps you see choices for APR offers, trade-in allowances, and available manufacturer or regional incentives.
FAQs
Do you offer the Ford Maverick Hybrid near Chesapeake?
Our Ford dealer often keeps stock or places custom orders for the Maverick Hybrid, Ford’s compact pickup. It combines city-friendly fuel economy with everyday utility. It fits with Chesapeake drivers with one or two cars and short 25-minute commutes. Students and small business owners also find it ideal for light work or hauling gear.
Do you have electric vans for commercial use?

Can I charge my EV at home in Chesapeake?
Yes, you can. The dealership links with trusted local partners to install Level 2 home chargers. You can also charge with Ford’s mobile charger using a 240-volt plug at home.
