Ford Pro Adds Charging Hardware for Commercial EV Clients

Ken Zino of AutoInformed.com on Ford Pro Adds Charging Hardware for Commercial EV ClientsFord Pro claims it is aiming to create a “smooth transition for commercial customers into an electric future by providing a one-stop shop for fleet operations and investing in key areas of the business.” The latest is the launch of six new home and depot chargers to offerings. From the 11.5-kilowatt Ford Pro AC Charging Station to the 180-kilowatt modular DC fast charging systems, Ford Pro says it has created a diverse lineup of chargers.

Ford Pro Charging** hardware launches alongside the all-new 2022 Ford E-Transit shipping to dealers now and the all-new 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro that is due to start arriving this spring, providing compatibility for customers who may operate other electric vehicle makes with secure OEM data.

“We are investing heavily in products and services to help commercial customers accelerate into an electric future, which means helping to ensure our hardware and software can plug and play with other manufacturers, as we know many customers operate mixed-make fleets,” said Ted Cannis, Ford Pro CEO. “These chargers can be completely customized to unique commercial environments and can work even better when paired together with Ford Pro electric vehicles and Telematics to enable OEM-grade data transparency.”

Once the charge systems are running, Ford Pro will continue to support commercial electric vehicle customers with Ford Pro E-Telematics †† and cutting-edge Ford Pro Charging** software solutions so fleet managers can better track their fleets. This includes software for smart charging, pre-conditioning, remote monitoring, reimbursement management for home charging, and reporting to help save on energy costs, maximize vehicle efficiency and uptime.
