Ford expands charging options for commercial fleets
Ford Pro's new Series 2 AC Charging Station 80 amp features an aluminum pedestal and an improved cable retractor for a sleeker look. Ford Pro, the commercial division within Ford Motor Company, has launched new charging hardware to help commercial customers transition their fleets to electric.
The new Series 2 AC Charging Station 80 amp and expanded DC Fast Charger options are now available for pre-order. The Series 2 AC Charging Station comes with features designed to simplify and improve workplace charging.
Fleet operators can issue a unique Ford Pro RFID card to control access to chargers, enabling charging sessions to be limited to specific individuals or vehicles. The new RFID software also supports Ford and non-Ford vehicles unlocking the ability for fleet operators to track energy reports through Ford Pros charging management software.
A new LCD screen on the Series 2 charger displays step-by-step instructions to initiate charging and important information including charge duration, fault alerts, energy usage.
