We’re committed to achieving carbon neutrality in Europe by 2035, across our new vehicles, facilities, logistics and supplier base. By 2024, we will launch three new electric passenger vehicles and four new electric commercial vehicles, offering you choice when finding your perfect EV – whether for work, play, or everything in between.
This is how you charge your Electric or Hybrid car

If you're considering making the switch to an electrified vehicle, then it's important you understand the differences between them. Click on the icons below to get more information on Mild Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and All-Electric Vehicles.
Ford is dedicated to making your change to an All-Electric or Plug-In Hybrid vehicle as simple as possible, which means addressing any concerns that you may have about the process. We asked a variety of our customers how they felt about everything from charging systems to pricing structures so we can demystify the electric and hybrid automotive world.
Ford’s aim is to make charging your electrified vehicle as easy and painless as possible. That’s why we’ve developed a full suite of charging options and supporting technologies to provide a convenient and comprehensive charging experience. This includes access to our BlueOvalTM Charge Network that now has over 1,300 charging stations across Ireland, including high-speed IONITY stations.
Hybrid and electric vehicles typically offer a smoother, quieter, more enjoyable drive, without compromising performance.
The overall cost of owning a hybrid or electric vehicle can be lower as well. Outstanding efficiency can mean less money spent on fuel, they tend to be cheaper to maintain, and are often eligible for tax incentives and government grants too.
The all-electric E-Transit is leading the charge, with Pro Power OnBoard and a range of up to 267-317 km.
By 2024, there'll be four more EV models to choose from: the all-new Transit Custom one-tonne van and Tourneo Custom MPV. Followed by the smaller, next generation Transit Courier and Tourneo Courier MPV.
An all-electric vehicle runs on battery power alone. That means there’s zero fuel, and zero emissions on the road. With government incentives, reduced road tax, and lower servicing costs, they’re good for your wallet as well as the environment.
A plug-in hybrid, also known as a PHEV, uses a combination of a petrol engine and a large electric battery. These vehicles can complete short journeys on electric power alone, or combine petrol with electric power to maximise efficiency on every drive.
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV) have all the functionality of full Hybrid technology, with the added advantage that they can be charged from an external electricity supply. The larger capacity of the battery makes them capable of zero-emissions while driving for ranges up to 64 kilometres, with the ability to switch to Hybrid mode to conserve battery life and to petrol or diesel-only for longer journeys.
A Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), also known as a self-charging hybrid, uses a combination of electric power and a traditional combustion engine. Its large battery supports the engine to improve efficiency and enables the car to complete short journeys on electric power alone, although its electric-only driving range isn’t as far as a plug-in hybrid vehicle.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles can switch seamlessly between engine only, electric, or combined engine and electric propulsion, according to driving conditions. This means the vehicle complete short journeys with zero emissions and maximise efficiency on longer drives.
A Mild Hybrid Vehicle (mHEV) incorporates a small electric motor and battery to help improve the engine’s power and efficiency. An mHEV can’t be driven on electric power alone, but provides additional support to the engine, helping to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emission figures.
The internal combustion engine is assisted by an electric motor. At low speed, or when stationary, the engine can switch itself off and the 48V starter-generator seamlessly restarts when needed. The separate 48V Li-ion battery is automatically recharged by regenerative braking during coasting and braking.
Ford’s aim is to make charging your electric vehicle as easy and painless as possible. That’s why we’ve developed a full suite of charging options and supporting technologies to provide you with a convenient and comprehensive charging experience.
Want to make charging your all-electric vehicle at home as fast as possible? The range of Ford wall boxes can assist. With the help of one of our expert partners, we can help you arrange the installation of a higher power Wallbox at home. A Ford Wallbox offers faster charging times versus charging via conventional plug sockets, getting your all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle back on the road as soon as you need it.
Our BlueOval™ Charge Network gives you access to over 1,400 conveniently located charging stations across Ireland, including high-speed IONITY stations, EBS, ePower, ChargePoint and EV-Box charging points. You’ll find them at supermarkets, shopping centres, motorway service stations, and many other locations. Discover charging stations near you with our interactive map.
Just like other cars, there are things that affect the achievable driving range of an electric vehicle. For example, the Mustang Mach-E is available in a choice of powertrain and battery size options, with the RWD extended range model being capable of up to 600 km*. Other factors that may affect range include outside temperature, load weight, and driving style.
*Based on full charge. Estimated range using Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) applies to AWD model with extended range battery. Actual range varies with conditions such as external elements, driving behaviours, vehicle maintenance, and lithium-ion battery age.
Charge on the road with our BlueOval™ Charge Network, which provides over 1,400 charge points across Ireland, including high-speed IONITY stations, EBS, ePower, ChargePoint and EV-Box charging points. For easy home charging, we offer smart wallboxes as well as charging cables for use with standard domestic power sockets.
