International EV charging network Allego, headquartered in the Netherlands, plans to supply high-power EV chargers with capacities of up to 400 kW to hundreds of Ford dealerships across Europe.
Deployment of the technology to Ford’s public BlueOval Charge Network, which includes 600,000 charging points across 36 European countries, is expected to begin this year. Ford customers will benefit from preferential rates when paying for charging using their FordPass Charging Card, the FordPass app or Plug & Charge, while other drivers will be able to pay using debit or credit cards.
Ford aims to have a 100% electric line-up of passenger and commercial vehicles in Europe by 2035.
“Ford believes charging infrastructure is one of the keys to giving consumers the confidence to make the switch to electric,” said Joerg Hofmeister, Ford’s European Head of Charging & Energy, Ford Model e. “Our new partnership with Allego is going to make the charging experience faster and more convenient for our customers.”
