Ford Pro now offers four chargers for commercial customers that it says will lower ownership costs and make it easier to charge more vehicles at once.

Options include 180- and 240-kW DC fast chargers and two Series 2 AC Charging Stations: 48-amp and 80-amp. Ford Pro’s AC charger gets a load of goodies that make powering an electric fleet much. It’s capable of operating in temperature extremes as cold as -40 Fahrenheit and as hot as 122 degrees, and the charger can throttle itself if it detects overheating.

The two DC fast chargers come with aluminum pedestals and an updated cable retractor that Ford Pro said gives the unit a “sleeker look.” They also work with the telematics features and can provide detailed data for utility reimbursement reporting. Without the need to build out a full-on fast charging station, the smaller, cheaper AC/DC charging solutions could give business owners the ability to install more chargers at a site.

Both chargers are available for preorder now. The 48-amp AC charger costs $1,399, and the 80-amp unit costs $1,999. Ford Pro didn’t announce pricing for the DC chargers but said buyers may be eligible for tax incentives, including a 30 percent federal credit on charging and installation costs.
