Ford Pro has introduced new EV charging solutions while Stellantis is working to get its dealers ready for electric cars.

, Ford said it is making two new Series 2 AC charging station available to customers who use Ford electric commercial vehicles like the e-Transit and F-150 Lightning in their fleets. The 48 amp Series 2 charger costs $1,399 and the 80 amp Series 2 charger costs $1,999.

The 80 amp Series 2 AC chargers will be ISO-15118 ready and equipped to handle over the air updates. LCD screens on the Series 2 chargers will display step by step instructions on how to begin charging as well as information about charge duration, fault alerts, energy usage, and more. Sensors will reduce charger output automatically if overheating occurs. The chargers are engineered to function from -40º to 122º F and at altitudes up to 3500 meters.

Ford Pro’s BEV Fit team helps customers identify available incentives, assists with charging site design and construction, and collaborates with local utilities on energy needs. But the dealers who carry those brands aren’t ready, which has led Stellantis to partner with Charge Enterprises to get its 2600 dealers up to snuff in the charging department to be able to sell all those spiffy new EVs that will be rolling off the assembly line in years to come. Stellantis is already working with Future Energy, Vehya, and AGI to get chargers installed at its dealers.

As an experienced infrastructure partner, Charge’s client education, project management, design, engineering and installation will provide a full-service solution for dealers.
