Ford has launched a new workplace charging network in the US and Canada, allowing more of its employees to charge their electric vehicles while at work and accomplish their daily commute entirely on electricity.
Ford plans to install electric vehicle charging stations at more than fifty of its company offices, product development campuses and manufacturing facilities. Installation will begin later this year and roll out across company facilities throughout 2014.

“Ford’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond our fuel-efficient vehicles to include our daily workplace,” said Mike Tinskey, Ford global director of Vehicle Electrification and Infrastructure. “We know that a growing electrified vehicle infrastructure is key to making plug-in vehicles a viable option for more consumers. Ford is committed to doing our part to help grow that infrastructure.
Ford also said that it delivered its best August US electrified vehicle (including plug-in hybrids) sales ever with 8,292 vehicles sold, up 288 percent over the same period a year ago.
