On the Dash:
- Ford has launched 1,200 new public fast chargers across the U.S. and Canada, all of which are open to every EV brand, not just Ford.
- More than 320 Ford dealerships will host the chargers, adding value to dealer locations and improving customer traffic.
- The network strengthens Ford’s EV strategy and future lineup, including a universal EV platform and a $30,000 mid-size electric pickup, set to arrive in 2027.
Ford has launched a new public fast-charging network, called Ford Charge, that makes nearly 1,200 DC fast chargers available across the U.S. and Canada. Unlike most automaker-backed charging networks, Ford Charge is open to all electric vehicles, not just Ford models, signaling the company’s push to expand nationwide EV access.
More than 320 Ford dealerships will host the chargers, positioned on major highways to improve long-distance travel for EV drivers. The rollout connects directly to the BlueOval Charge Network, which is already the largest public charging network in North America, boasting over 200,000 stations.
Ford EV drivers can access chargers through the FordPass, PlugShare, or Shell apps, which display real-time availability, pricing, and route planning information. The chargers support Plug and Charge technology, allowing seamless payments and compatibility with Tesla Superchargers and Electrify America locations. All drivers, regardless of brand, can use Ford Charge and receive 24/7 live customer support.
The move expands on Ford’s efforts to improve charging convenience. Today, over 800 Ford dealerships already provide public access to more than 3,000 DC fast chargers. By extending the network under the Ford Charge banner, the company aims to strengthen infrastructure as EV adoption grows.
Ford is also advancing its broader EV strategy. Alongside charging, the automaker is developing a new universal EV platform that will underpin multiple models, including a mid-size electric pickup truck with a starting price of around $30,000. That truck is expected to enter production in 2027.
By making its charging network accessible to all EV drivers, Ford is betting on collaboration and convenience to accelerate adoption. The combination of expanded infrastructure and new vehicle platforms underscores the automaker’s commitment to competing in a rapidly shifting electric vehicle market.
