News for EV drivers to get charged up about! Over 800 Ford dealerships and counting are providing public access to more than 3,000 DC fast chargers to help electric vehicle drivers road trip to their favorite destinations, regardless of vehicle make or model, with less stress and more convenience.
Ford dealers have the option to choose a charging provider of their choice, and hundreds chose Ford to manage the reliable operations for nearly 1,200 of these DC fast chargers. These DC fast chargers are on a charging network called Ford Charge, which we are officially launching today. Ford Charge is backed by Ford and provides reliable fast charging at over 320 Ford dealerships across the U.S. and Canada. These public chargers are open to all compatible electric vehicles.
BlueOval™ Charge Network
All chargers at Ford Dealerships are part of the BlueOval Charge Network, North America’s largest integrated network, and gives Ford electric vehicle drivers access to fast chargers within 18 miles on most U.S. highways. The BlueOval Charge Network helps make finding a charger easy through one app and offers the convenience of Plug and Charge through the Tesla Supercharger and Electrify America networks.
The BlueOval™Charge Network now has more than 126,000 chargers, including more than 28,000 fast chargers, with more being added every week.
The network provides one seamless stored payment account through the FordPass App, or Charge Assist (soon to be “Public Charge” App in the vehicle touchscreen), that eliminates the need for onsite credit card use. Once owners have created an account, they can then select, activate, and pay for charging by using the FordPass App’s “View Chargers” functionality.
Ford customers can enjoy trip planning, routing and charging payment through FordPass Power My Trip on both the FordPass App and via Charge Assist (soon to be “Public Charge” App) on the in-vehicle touchscreen (Tesla Superchargers route planning coming in the future).
