Partnering with Ford to support their all-inclusive charging deal, has made charging at home and on the go even easier. Say hello to hassle-free charging wherever your journey takes you!

“When living with an EV, having a home charger installed makes life so simple. You simply drive it each day, and plug it in at home like you would a smartphone,” said Myles Hartley, General Manager of Electric Vehicles, Ford Australia. “You get all the benefits of having a fuel bowser in your garage, able to fill up your car cheaply and easily overnight.”

Collaborating with Evie for this package allows Ford Australia to offer its customers a stress-free installation process, plus the added benefit of $400 of public charging credit on their massive national public network for when Ford EV owners need to travel interstate in their car.”

The $400 Evie public charging credit can also be used in the interim period between purchasing the home charger and the final installation being completed and is valid for 12 months from the point of purchase.

The at-home charging unit comes with Evie Networks’ three-year hardware warranty and two-year installation warranty, and is compatible with Ford’s existing electrified models such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E, E-Transit and Escape PHEV, as well as future vehicles like the Ranger PHEV, E-Transit Custom, and Puma Gen-E.

As the country’s demand for electric vehicles increases, so too must the supply of appropriate infrastructure. Ford Australia encourages a strong uptake of smart home charging solutions, bolstered by an expansive, and reliable, public charging network such as that provided by Evie Networks.

“The Evie Network has more than 230 public charging sites across Australia, and while the number of locations is one factor, it’s important for those chargers to be operational when EV drivers need them.

“Ford customers can enjoy peace of mind when using our public charging network, which boasts an impressive 97 per cent uptime, with all locations powered entirely by renewable energy.”
