Buying a charging station for Ford
There are more and more cars with a plug on the Dutch roads. A car manufacturer that has played a major role in this is Ford. By making sportier cars and family cars electric, the German car manufacturer has an interesting market share in the Netherlands. Do you have a Ford with a plug and do you want to be able to charge optimally? Then you can opt for a Ford charging station at your home or at work. Of course, you can find all charging stations for Ford with us.
Type of connections for the charging station
When you are looking for the right Ford charging station, you first look at the connection on the car and the charging station. Although Ford makes cars for the European market, not all models are equipped with the standard Mennekes connection on the car. For example, the Ford C-Max Plug-in and Ford Focus Electric (early models) are equipped with a type 1 connection. All other models are equipped with a Mennekes connection.
Other features of a Ford charging station
Finding the right charging station for Ford is not just about the right connection. It is important that the charging capacity of the charging station also matches the charging capacity of the car. Just like the number of phases on which it is charged, of course. In the case of Ford, this can be a 16A or 32A charging capacity. If you have a Ford C-Max Plug-in or a Ford Focus Electric, you need a charging station that charges on 1 phase. For all other models, charging on 3 phases is the best choice.
If you do not yet have a three-phase power supply at home, you can ask the grid operator to increase the connection so that you can connect a charging station to 3 phases.
Charging stations for the future
It is possible to buy a specific charging station with phase and number of amps for this car. We advise to think about the future. The lifespan of a charging station is many years and in a few years you may already be ready for another electric car. By choosing a charging station that specifically fits this car, you run the risk of having to make a double investment to optimally charge the next car.
A smart investment is to purchase a 22kW charging station with load balancing . These charging stations can charge over 3-phase with a maximum of 32A. This way you can charge at maximum speed now or in the future when there is cheap solar energy. Due to the load balancing it is also possible to automatically reduce the charging speed when the hob, oven and heat pump starts.
