Huh. Dealer said nothing about this and I bought the truck two days ago. So who would I call to get this incentive?

Look at your sales contract rebate line. They probably included it in the deal on the rebate line. How much was the value of the rebates on the contract?

A decent dealer would have educated you with your options but some just max out rebates to make the bottom line as low as possible.

Here are the basic rebates for a 2025 Platinum per web site. Looks like there are $5000 total


Retail Bonus CashProgram #11444: Take new retail delivery from dealer stock by 06/02/2025. See dealer for complete details.Amount: $1,000, Offer Valid: 04/24/2025-06/02/2025

Retail Bonus CashProgram #11442: Take new retail delivery from dealer stock by 07/07/2025. See dealer for complete details.Amount: $4,000, Offer Valid: 05/01/2025-07/07/2025

So I got 4500 in rebates but 500 was for First Responder. Didn’t see anything regarding a separate rebate in lieu of a charging station. Then there was another 6 or 7 grand back in incentives but I’ll check the contract.

Call the dealer ans ask them. The $500 may be buried in the incentives.

I leased my 2024 Platinum in February when the incentives and rebates were HUGE for X-Plan. Those deals expired 4/2/2025. At that time Ford was offering $1,000 to opt out of the charger and installation deal.

This is the breakdown i got with my X-Plan paperwork when I signed the Lease deal.

Dealer Assignment (Use this section to assign payment to dealer.)
1. I assign payment of the Customer Cash Incentive(s) to the selling dealer.
2. I acknowledge incentive(s) reflect as either a reduction on the Bill of Sale or Lease or as a check back to the customer or a combination thereof. Program Dollar Customer's

Program 11316 $615.00 3 year Blue Cruise rebate
Program 11372 $1,000.00 Charge Station Pro delete rebate
Program 32584 $2,000.00 Exclusive/Private Cash Offer
Program 50622 $9,500.00 EV Red Carpet Lease Incentive
Program 90180 $1,000.00 X-Plan Bonus Cash
Program 90194 $7,500.00 X-Plan Customer Cash

Interesting. I’m gonna have to go back thru and check all this out. Left messages for two people that handled my purchase and haven’t gotten a call back but thanks very much for pointing this out to me. Appreciate all you guys and your help.

Now I am going to grumble about EA. I have a desert trip planned for tomorrow that will be 650 - 700 miles. So obviously several DC charging stops along the way. One of those stops is planned in Baker, Calif. which has a large Tesla SC installation, but is not compatible with our trucks Right next to the Tesla SC is an EA station with 12 stalls. Another one of my planned stops is in Fenner, Calif. (I-40 about 40 miles west of Needles, Calif). That has a 7 stall EA station. Neither of these locations has any alternative other than a 2 stall 50 KW EVgo station in Baker, and level 2 charging in Goffs (10 miles east of Fenner). I have been checking availability in both FordPass and the EA app at both of those stations at least once per day (usually more) for the past several weeks. Both have always had stalls available. A day or two ago, the Fenner station changed to "All chargers at this station are currently unavailable." Yesterday afternoon, the Baker station also is reporting all chargers unavailable. The Fenner station outage is not that much of a problem as i will be going to Needles (or at least close) and there are several Tesla and EA fast chargers available. However the Baker outage is a problem as it would make an about 300 mile leg between charges including 50 miles of dirt road and all of it in the middle of nowhere. If I can't charge in Baker, I will have to change the second part of the trip. Kind of a bummer.

I don't know what is going on with those two stations, but thier timing sucks for me.

If I was you I’d stop in needles and charge at the SC. There are 2 in needles but one is a flat .25kwh which is wicked cheap! I always stop there whether I need juice or not. It’s just rude not to stop at that price! that is membership pricing just to be clear.

I did. Because the Fenner EA station was down, I went farther east than planned (Goffs) because Needles was now required. It was about 60 miles out of my, but I made it productive with some additional GeoCaches logged. And both Needles SC sites were $0.26 / KWH so we went to the farther NW location - which just happed to be at the last GeoCache we logged.

And reference to my grumble, the Baker EA station was working fine yesterday. Sucked up 73KWH.
