What charging system does Ford use?

Ford’s Charging System
Ford uses a variety of charging systems for its electric vehicles, including the following:
1. Plug & Charge Technology: Through the FordPass App, users can automatically pay for charging by simply plugging into a public charging station. This eliminates the need to use smartphones or credit cards. Participating stations can communicate with the electric vehicle and bill the user accordingly. When enrolled in the BlueOval Charge Network, users receive a complimentary 250kWh of DC fast charging at Electrify Americas charging stations.
2. Ford Mobile Charger: This is an optional purchase with every new EV and includes two connectors for users to choose the charging speed that fits their lifestyle. The charge time depends on whether the Ford Mobile Charger or the aftermarket Ford Connected Charge Station is used. It is recommended to give the vehicle battery ample time to charge and to consider overnight charging when possible .
3. Ford Connected Charge Station: This is available for purchase through the Ford Chargers website. It can maximize home charging speed and provide connected solutions to enhance the home charging experience. When paired with the FordPass App, users can enjoy connected features and control the charge station and manage charging remotely. The Ford Connected Charge Station charges up to 10 times faster than a standard wall outlet and can add an average of 28 miles of range per charging hour on a Mustang Mach-E with an extended-range battery and rear-wheel drive.
4. BlueOval Charge Network: This is a huge network of networks that provides access to a variety of charging providers without the need for multiple swipe-cards and phone apps. The FordPass App is the key to the BlueOval Charge Network, allowing users to find stations, activate charging, keep track of usage, and earn rewards.
5. Ford Electric Vehicles: Ford electric vehicles include the all-electric Mustang Mach-E, the F-150 Lightning, and Ford plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Home charging refers to AC charging.
In summary, Ford offers a comprehensive charging infrastructure for its electric vehicles, including options for public charging, home charging, and access to a wide network of charging providers through the BlueOval Charge Network.
