Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) said today that its Ford Pro commercial division and Xcel Energy (NASDAQ: XEL) will work on deploying 30,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging ports in Xcel Energy service territories across the US by 2030 in a program dubbed 30×30.*
“Ford Pro and Xcel Energy are pioneering a whole new way to scale EV charging infrastructure,” claimed Amanda Rome, Executive Vice President, Group President, Utilities & Chief Customer Officer at Xcel Energy. “Ford Pro is a trusted provider in fleet electrification, scaling charging infrastructure for fleets with smart vehicle, charging and software.”
Most initial costs will be offset by Xcel for qualifying business fleet customers in the limited areas it operates in. Starting in 2024, 30×30 will be available through Xcel Energy’s Electric Vehicle Supply Infrastructure (EVSI) program in Colorado and Wisconsin. Xcel will seek expansion in future states during the next six years within Xcel Energy’s service territories, pending regulatory approvals, including Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Texas.
Eligible Ford vehicles include the F-150® Lightning® Pro pickup and E-Transit™ van. Ford Pro Charging hardware is available with 48- and 80-amp chargers for overnight charging with Level 2 AC charging, plus Ford Pro Charging software for home, public and depot chargers. Ford Pro also offers extended DC Fast Charger options in 180kW and 240kW, giving fleet operators and drivers more power and potentially shorter charge times.
*The 30×30 collaboration is between a vehicle manufacturer and utility provider to help provide EV charging to business fleets. Together, the companies will streamline the process for businesses to acquire EV charging and support. Subject to relevant program requirements, Xcel Energy will install the charging infrastructure for business customers that qualify for and enroll in an approved EVSI program in the customer’s service location, with most upfront costs offset by Xcel Energy. Ford Pro will provide Ford Pro Charging equipment and post-installation customer service and support.
Business fleets can buy Ford Pro Intelligence, which offers smart charging software and connected solutions such as Ford Pro Telematics.2 The integrated software and hardware help increase uptime, and potentially lower operational costs by allowing businesses to access data from both vehicles and chargers. These help ensure vehicles are charged and ready when businesses need them while optimizing how, when and where EVs are charged.
