Ford selects AeroVironment as preferred charging station supplier
09 May 2013
Ford Motor Company selected AeroVironment, Inc. as the preferred installation partner and authorized charging station supplier for the Ford Focus Electric, C-MAX Energi and Fusion Energi plug-in electric vehicles.
Ford plug-in customers can now purchase a Ford-approved 240-volt charger and schedule a turnkey professional installation with a call to AeroVironment. Soon customers will also have a web-based option for ordering their home charging package or purchasing their charging station.
AeroVironment has deployed more than 11,000 charging stations across North America.
AeroVironment’s 240-volt home charging package will recharge the C-MAX Energi and Fusion Energi plug-in hybrids in 2.5 hours, giving drivers another 21 miles of all-electric driving. The Focus Electric will be ready for 76 miles of all-electric driving in less than 4 hours. By comparison, charging the Focus Electric from a standard 120-volt wall outlet can require 18 to 20 hours for a full recharge.
