Ford partners with Evie for home EV charging unit and $400 network credit

Existing and new buyers of a Ford EV now have the option to take up the installation of a 7.4kW single-phase AC wall charger, installed by Evie Networks.

A 7.4kW connection is far from the fastest way to charge, as our guide here explains, but in most cases it’ll do the job for an overnight refill.

The combined hardware and installation cost comes at a cost of $2580, and the deal includes $400 worth of free charging across Evie’s network of 230 DC fast charging sites. That's equivalent to roughly 690kWh of charge, or nearly 10 full charges of a 71kWh Mustang Mach-E.

Buyers who already have three-phase power can upgrade to a faster 22kW charger for an extra $300, and buyers with existing solar power can have the charger integrated for another $300 on top.

The $400 charging credit can be used immediately at the time of purchase, even before installation is carried out, and will be valid for 12 months.

A three-year hardware warranty is provided by Evie, along with a two-year warranty on the installation work.

Ford’s existing EV line-up in Australia includes the newly launched Mustang Mach-E SUV and E-Transit, to be joined later this year by the upcoming (and still to be revealed) Puma Gen-E.

Owners of the incoming Ranger PHEV and the now retired Escape PHEV can also use the Evie charger, although charging speeds will be limited by the PHEVs’ 3.6kW system.
