Ford Australia and Evie Networks offer an “EV Charging Package” for new and existing EV owners.
A 7.4kW Teltonika Teltocharge AC Charger wall unit allows a vehicle to be charged overnight.
Hardware and installation costs $2580, with a limited time offer including $400 of free charging at any of Evie Networks more than 230 public DC fast charging sites.
Available to order from Evie Networks both online at ford.com.au and through an Authorised Ford EV Dealer, the “EV Charging Package” includes a Teltonika Teltocharge 7.4kW single-phase wallbox, a five metre tethered cable with Type 2 connector, and a smartphone app enabling charge scheduling, along with remote monitoring and control.
This collaboration with Evie Networks leverages the expertise of an EV charging specialist, providing customers with a convenient option for home and journey charging, says Ford Australia.
A pair of additional features can be enabled, with a 22kW upgrade for those with three-phase power supply, and solar integration that allows owners to charge exclusively from excess solar power, both available for an extra $300 each.
“When living with an EV, having a home charger installed makes life so simple,” says Ford Australia electric vehicles general manager Myles Hartley.
“You simply drive it each day and plug it in at home like you would a smartphone.
“You get all the benefits of having a fuel bowser in your garage, able to fill up your car cheaply and easily overnight.”
The $400 Evie Networks public charging credit can be used in the interim period between purchasing the home charger and final installation being completed and is valid for a year 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.
With a national network of installers, and fast chargers in every state and territory across more than 230 locations, Evie Networks says it is committed to accelerating EV adoption in Australia.
“Partnering with Ford showcases the continuous acceleration and innovation of the EV charging industry, propelling Australia towards a more sustainable automotive future,” says Evie Networks chief executive Chris Mills.
“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% uptime, with all locations powered entirely by renewable energy.”
