Ford has launched Ford Charge, a new network of nearly 1,200 DC fast chargers located at over 320 Ford dealerships across the United States. Ford says the network provides reliable public charging for all compatible electric vehicles, not just Ford models.

John Grappone Ford in Bow, New Hampshire, reports it is the first dealership to have chargers operational on the new Ford Charge Network, offering six DC fast chargers.

Ford Charge joins the BlueOval Charge Network, which the company says is North America’s largest integrated charging network. The combined network unites thousands of chargers and enables Ford EV drivers to access fast charging within 18 miles of most US highways.

Customers can locate Ford Charge stations using the BlueOval Charge Network interface for Ford customers, PlugShare or the Shell app. These platforms display charger locations, real-time availability and pricing details to help users plan routes and charging stops. The company notes that while many locations are accessible 24/7, charger status and hours can be easily checked through the supporting apps.

Ford Charge offers 24/7 live agent call center support for any customer experiencing an issue or needing assistance during charging. The network is designed for public use by any compatible EV.
