Sustainability

The Road to Better is Ford’s strategy to build a better world. Where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams. It’s what drives us forwards since we started our journey in 1903.

Our scale and resources put us in a strong position to drive change for better - better for our people, better for our planet and better for progress. Targeting climate change action while exploring more sustainable manufacturing practices and taking responsibility for our environmental and social impact. Our purpose is bigger than just building great vehicles.

Charging at home

You have two options for charging your all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle at home. The simplest: just plug into a standard domestic socket using the supplied home charging cable. And the fastest: a dedicated home charging point, like the Ford Wallbox, for charging up to five times faster than a standard socket.

How much it costs to charge an electric car depends on variables like battery size, your electricity tariff, how much your battery is already charged and the EV’s temperature.

Public Charging

At supermarkets, service stations, carparks, and on-street — public electric vehicle charging stations are appearing in more and more locations.

How long it takes to charge an electric car varies depending on charger technology, battery condition, ambient temperatures, and your vehicle. For example, Mustang Mach-E can add over 55 miles of range in 10 minutes at a 150kW charge point.

For some public charge points, you will need your own cable. But for most, it’s as simple as plugging in the attached charging cable and making payment – which is made very convenient with your BlueOval™ Charge Network account.

Charging

We’re working to make the transition to electric easy, with convenient charging and longer range. Rapid advances in battery technology mean today’s electric vehicles charge faster and take you further.
