Ford Pro, Ford’s tech-centric commercial arm, is making strides in the electric vehicle (EV) charging game. Known for its focus on fleet management and telematics, the division has recently expanded its EV charger lineup, revealing new units fine-tuned for business applications.

Ford will be offering 2 options for DC Chargers, 180 kW and 240 kW

First up, the Series 2 AC charger offers a robust 80-amp, 19.2 kW output. With ISO-15118 compatibility, this plug-and-charge unit is all about convenience. It’s fitted with an RFID reader and an LCD screen, making it both secure and user-friendly. What sets it apart, however, is the detachable cable system. Gone are the days of replacing the entire charging unit due to worn-out cables. This practical feature ensures long-term utility and cost-effectiveness.

In terms of weather resistance, this charger is prepared for any season. Operating from sub-zero temps to scorching heat, the Series 2 can withstand the weather extremities of North America.

On the DC front, Ford Pro is offering two power-packed units: a 180 kW option and a higher-octane 240 kW model. Though specifics are scant, both will feature sleek, aluminum pedestals. Intriguingly, these chargers exceed the max charge rate of current Ford EV models like the F-150 Lightning and the Mach-E, both of which cap at around 155 kW and 150 kW, respectively. This could hint at Ford Pro setting the stage for more powerful, faster-charging EVs in the future.

So, what does this all mean for businesses? In a nutshell, Ford Pro’s updated lineup checks boxes for durability, versatility, and future-readiness. The division seems to be paving the way for not just a new generation of Ford electric vehicles, but also a more streamlined, efficient fleet management system. Keep an eye on Ford Pro; they’re plugging into the future, one charger at a time.
