The new collaboration will further expand convenient and
reliable charging solutions for customers of Ford electric vehicles
(EVs) including the new electric Explorer¹, as the American brand
journeys towards a 100 percent electric line-up of passenger and
commercial vehicles in Europe by 2035.
Customers can from today order the Explorer crossover, Ford’s
first EV passenger car engineered and built in Europe.
Delivering up to 400 kW charging, Allego ultra-fast charging
stations at Ford dealerships will be accessible to EV drivers
around the clock and compatible with vehicles that offer DC
charging capability regardless of manufacturer.
Ford customers will benefit from preferential rates when paying
for charging using their FordPass Charging Card, the FordPass app²
or Plug & Charge, with other drivers able to pay using debit or
credit card.
Allego’s Chief Executive Officer, Mathieu Bonnet, commented,
“Allego continues to expand its network to meet the demand for
charging that comes with more EVs on the road. Automakers like Ford
are stepping up to the plate by producing a greater selection of
EVs as the European market fully transitions to electric. By
equipping these Ford dealerships with Allego’s ultra-fast charging
technology, switching to electric will only become easier and more
accessible to drivers throughout Europe.”
Ford’s European Head of Charging & Energy, Ford Model e,
Joerg Hofmeister, commented “Ford believes charging infrastructure
is one of the keys to giving consumers the confidence to make the
switch to electric. Our new partnership with Allego is going to
make the charging experience faster and more convenient for our
customers, and encourage more drivers than ever to consider the
benefits of zero emissions while driving in vehicles like our new
electric Explorer.”
Ford’s European Manager, Charging & Energy Strategy and
Go-to Market, Ford Model e, Oliver Adrian, says, “The new
high-power charging stations will be included within the BlueOval
Charge Network – Ford’s public charging service – which enables
drivers to access and pay for charging at more than 600,000
charging points³ in Europe. A key benefit for Ford customers will
be the Plug & Charge technology at Allego charging stations –
providing fast and secure charging without needing to use an app or
RFID card.”
