What charging network do ford EVs use?
In the EV Landscape, Ford Charges Forward!
Ford Motor Company has big ambitions for their electric vehicle lineup, and they’re backing them up with a strong charging network called the BlueOval™ Charge Network.
One of the biggest concerns as the EV and hybrid vehicle market has exploded in recent years is how the auto industry would keep up with the demand for charging stations. How would the industry adapt to make owning an EV or hybrid convenient as well as smart?
Ford Motor Company immediately leapt to the forefront of the electric charging industry, creating the Blue Oval Charge Network (BOCN) to make sure Ford drivers have access to the charging stations they need with the largest public charging network in North America. And more charging opportunities are being added every day!
You can be confident when you buy a Ford EV or hybrid from D’Orazio Ford that your vehicle is backed by unprecedented charging opportunities to keep you on the go, wherever you may be.
Blue Oval by the numbers:
Ford explains, “The BlueOval Charge Network is a huge network…of networks. Access a variety of charging providers without a bunch of confusing swipe-cards and phone apps.”
In October, Ford updated consumers with more good news, announcing they were adding three additional charging providers to BOCNl, “Blink, Francis Energy and Red E join the existing BlueOval Charge Network provider: Shell Recharge Solutions, Electrify America, EVgo, ChargePoint, FLO, EV Connect, and Electric Circuit.”
This increases available charging stations by 25%, bringing the total amount to more than 106,000 chargers across the US and Canada, all with embedded charger routing and simple payment through your FordPass app. Ford also offers the Ford Connected Charge Station for convenient home charging.
FordPass is a key feature of your Ford EV.
When you purchase a Ford EV or hybrid from D’Orazio Ford, you get FordPass– an entire suite of app-based products dedicated to your vehicle’s performance and travel needs.
The FordPass app acts as your key to the BOCN. Once you’ve created an account, you can search for charge stations, then select, activate and pay for charging- you can even earn rewards!
FordPass is like a concierge service for your car: The Power My Trip feature is your navigator. You can plan your directions according to your charge level with the Intelligent Range feature, get help finding charge stations along the way, and see all your charging options so you know the fastest, most efficient way to stay on the move. FordPass seamlessly connects your vehicle to your phone, so you can connect, control and communicate with your Ford. You can even plug in and set departure times to pre-heat or pre-cool your battery and cabin before you drive.
Those are just a sample of the incredible benefits you’ll access through FordPass and the BOCN when you buy an EV or hybrid at D’Orazio Ford.
