As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain popularity, one of the most significant concerns for potential buyers is range anxiety—worrying about finding charging stations on long trips or in unfamiliar areas. Ford has taken major strides to address this concern with its ever-expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure, including the FordPass Charging Network, designed to provide convenient, reliable access to EV chargers across the country.
At Power Ford, we are excited to share how Ford’s innovative approach to EV charging is making EV ownership easier than ever before. Whether you’re commuting to work or embarking on a road trip, Ford is helping you stay charged and confident behind the wheel.
1. The FordPass Charging Network: The Largest Public Charging Network in North America
FordPass Charging Network is currently the largest public charging network in North America, with over 84,000 charging plugs and counting. This massive network includes:
- DC Fast Chargers: Ideal for quick top-ups, these chargers can recharge a Ford EV’s battery to 80% in as little as 45 minutes, making them perfect for longer road trips.
- Level 2 Chargers: These are widely available at public destinations like shopping malls, parking lots, and hotels, allowing EV owners to conveniently charge while running errands or during longer stays.
This extensive network gives Ford EV owners access to chargers in urban areas, along highways, and in rural locations, offering peace of mind wherever they drive.
2. Integrated Navigation and Easy Access with FordPass
Through the FordPass app, Ford has simplified how drivers find and access charging stations. Here’s how FordPass makes charging more convenient:
- Real-Time Charger Locations: The app displays the nearest charging stations in real time, complete with details like charger type and availability.
- Route Planning with Charging Stops: Planning a long road trip? FordPass offers route planning that automatically includes charging stops, ensuring you’ll never run out of battery during your journey.
- Simple Payment: FordPass enables seamless charging payments across the network, removing the need for multiple apps or memberships. Just plug in and pay with ease.
3. Home Charging Solutions for Ultimate Convenience
Ford also offers convenient home charging solutions to ensure your EV is always ready to go:
- Ford Connected Charge Station: This powerful 48-amp Level 2 charger can be installed at home and provides a full charge overnight, so you can wake up to a fully charged vehicle every day.
- Portable Charging Cable: Every Ford EV comes with a portable Level 1/Level 2 charging cable that allows you to charge anywhere you find a standard power outlet, offering even more flexibility and convenience.
With Ford’s home charging options, you can easily integrate EV charging into your daily routine without ever needing to visit a public charging station.
4. Partnership with Electrify America for Enhanced Coverage
In addition to the FordPass Charging Network, Ford has partnered with Electrify America, further expanding access to high-speed chargers nationwide. With Electrify America’s fast-growing network of DC fast chargers, Ford EV owners have access to more charging locations in key travel corridors and metropolitan areas. This partnership ensures that long-distance travel in an electric Ford is more convenient than ever.
5. Reducing Range Anxiety with BlueOval™ Charging Network Expansion
Ford is committed to expanding its charging infrastructure even further through the BlueOval™ Charge Network, which continues to grow in response to the increasing demand for electric vehicles. This ongoing expansion helps reduce range anxiety and makes charging more accessible for EV drivers. Additionally, Ford’s EVs are designed with Intelligent Range technology, which helps you better predict how much battery you’ll need based on driving conditions, terrain, weather, and more.
As Ford continues to lead the charge in electric vehicle technology, the convenience of its comprehensive charging network removes the uncertainty of finding chargers, allowing drivers to enjoy the freedom of driving electric without compromise. With access to the largest public charging network in North America, seamless integration through FordPass, and convenient home charging solutions, EV ownership has never been easier.
