With the increasing demand for electric vehicles, electric charging stations are already seen to be consistently cropping up in the vicinities around the city blocks. But as a more practical and rather adaptable measure, Ford has introduced their user-friendly compact version of a charging station, which can be used at homes. Released specifically for Ford Focus users, this at-home charging station is touted to charge the vehicle comprehensively in less than four hours.
The 240V petite device coming at the size of a backpack is defined by the advantages of compactness and compatibility. The advanced mechanism makes it easier to be connected to just a conventional outlet (with a simple wire and plug), instead of being hardwired to the complex paraphernalia of a dwelling’s circuit system. Moreover, the whole use- friendly system with a simple blue and white color combination, comes with a complete guide and assistance (relating to service, maintenance, and repair) of Best Buy’s Geek Squad.
The $1500 charging device can be attached to the car’s 6.6 kilowatt charger, while the whole process according to the renowned car maker will take less than four hours. This certainly has the potentiality of have far-reaching benefits, specifically to electric vehicle owners. Firstly, this nullifies the requirement of electric charging stations, which though increasing at a substantial pace, are still scarce in comparison to gas stations. Secondly, the whole cost of installing such facilities can be significantly reduced if the ‘green’ minded people are open to the idea of having their very own exclusive charging station.
