Ford Energy Rewards

Help the grid and your wallet with Ford Energy Rewards. See how it works, if your utility provider participates, and how you can enroll.

What is Ford Energy Rewards?

Ford Energy Rewards is a complimentary service that rewards you for supporting your utility provider’s mission of grid stability and increased renewable energy usage.

 

How does Ford Energy Rewards work?

Ford connects electric vehicle (EV) owners in some states with their local utility companies who are offering incentives in exchange for flexibility in charging times. If you charge your vehicle at home and your utility provider has collaborated with Ford, you can sign up.

Ford then manages your vehicle charging with the utility program and automatically schedules your charge to earn incentives. Your charging will be shifted to match your utility's needs, helping to protect your community’s electric grid, and helping your utility provider keep your lights on.

FAQs

What happens if I unplug my vehicle during a Ford Energy Rewards event?

If you need to use your vehicle, you can always unplug it and drive without having an impact on your participation in the utility program.

What happens if my utility company is not listed under Ford Energy Rewards?

If your utility provider is not listed, you are not able to enroll in Ford Energy Rewards at this time. You can check back in the future to see if your utility provider is teaming up with Ford.

Can I enroll in multiple energy services?

Ford Energy Services are meant to work together to help protect your home, potentially lower your energy costs, and help reduce strain on the grid — all at the same time.

 

Home Power Management and Ford Energy Rewards do not interfere with each other. You can be enrolled in both programs at the same time.

 

Home Backup Power only works when your connection to the grid is disrupted and does not interfere with other energy services.
