Ford Launches North American Electric Vehicle Charging Network

Ford Motor Company F is offering its all-electric vehicle customers in North America a public charging network with more than 12,000 locations, the automaker said Thursday. 

Ford is collaborating with Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN on installation services in the U.S. 

The public EV charging network has over 35,000 plugs, more than any other automaker's network, according to Dearborn. 

New Ford EVs, including a Mustang-inspired SUV set to debut next year, will come with a Ford Mobile Charger that works with both 120- and 240-volt outlets. 

A Ford Connected Charge Station can fully charge a vehicle overnight while the owner sleeps, Ford said.

“The fact that most of our customers will plug in at home is a key advantage to an all-electric vehicle,” Matt Stover, Ford director of charging, energy services and business development at Ford, said in a statement. 

“We will deliver a charging experience that is hassle-free whether you’re at home or on-the-go.”

Ford shares were trading 0.61% higher at $9.12 at the time of publication. The stock has a 52-week high of $10.56 and a 52-week low of $7.41.
