Ford claim that they aim to simplify EV charging by “making EV home charging as easy as charging a smartphone, which is where most all-electric vehicle drivers currently charge.” There are a number of ways that they plan to go about this. Firstly, every new Ford all-electric vehicle will be delivered with the Ford Mobile Charger. This device can be used to charge from the standard 120v electrical outlet that customers will certainly have in their garage. This socket can deliver approximately 3 miles of driving time per charging hour.
Most importantly however this same Ford Mobile Charger can also charge at 22 miles per charging hour. To do this it must be plugged into the 240v dryer socket that is already installed in million of homes in the USA! This last option will give new Ford EV owners access to Level 2, 240v fast charging at home for very low cost.
