According to foreign media reports, Ford has begun to build its own electric vehicle charging pile in the United States, and the company's charging infrastructure is reminiscent of Tesla's super charging pile (Supercharger).

Recently, Ford has been trying to enter the field of electric vehicles, the company's Mustang Mach-E electric SUV has been listed, in addition to its Fmur150 Lightning electric pickup truck is about to go on sale. In terms of charging infrastructure, Ford previously announced that it had partnered with Electrify America, Ionity and other charging service networks. Charging infrastructure is one of the important means to develop electric vehicles. Only by eliminating people's charging anxiety can more consumers accept electric vehicles.

Last year, it was reported that Ford would follow Tesla's example by building its own charging station. According to the latest news, the company has begun to install its own charging piles at dealers, and some Ford owners have taken pictures of them and uploaded them to the Internet. From the photo, the shape of Ford charging pile is very similar to that of Tesla charging pile.

Before that, almost all automakers chose to work with third-party charging service providers when building charging infrastructure, with the exception of Tesla, which chose to build its own super-charging network. Tesla's super charging network is regarded as the best fast charging service in the world, because Tesla's focus is to provide a good charging experience for car owners, rather than focusing on profit. Tesla will build charging stations in some remote places so that electric car owners can travel long distances. In addition, the company will install multiple charging piles in each charging station to reduce the waiting time for car owners.
