Ford is breaking barriers with its newly announced decision to acquire Electriphi, which means going electric is going to become a whole lot easier for commercial customers. Who/what is Electriphi? It is a California-based provider of charging management and fleet monitoring software for electric vehicles. Their team and services will be integrated into Ford Pro, making the electric vehicle experience more seamless, and better than ever before. Ford’s new global business, Ford Pro, is committed to developing the most advanced charging and energy management experiences in the world.
The Electriphi charging platform is built with purpose and will create a variety of services in its charging ecosystem for commercial customers. Some include employee home charging, public charging, and e-telematics solutions. On top of that, Ford has customers covered end to end, from charging installation to operations.
There is no doubt the all-electric vehicle industry is growing. More commercial vehicle customers are considering all-electric vehicles than ever before. With the Electriphi integration, Ford Pro is taking the lead by removing some of the biggest barricades in the industry—a charging management system so seamless it can be adopted by the masses.
In fact, the depot charging industry has the potential to grow to a portfolio of over 600,000 full-size trucks and vans by 2030, that is according to Ford Pro estimates. Given the existing advanced technology from Electriphi, the Ford Pro electric vehicles and services portfolio will be able to enhance the experience for commercial customers. Ted Cannis, Ford Pro CEO also has a vision of becoming a single-source solution for fleet-depot charging.
Electrification is an inevitable transition, but to ease that transition, solutions like Electriphi are necessary to achieve significant economic and sustainability benefits. “Our synergies with Ford Pro will supercharge this transition,” said Muffi Ghadiali, Electriphi CEO and co-founder. He went on to elaborate that with the assistance of making the most out of the benefits of electrification, customers can focus on what matters most—running an effective business.
By bringing Electriphi on board, Ford Pro has set in stone its strategy to establish a top-dog leadership position in the software space. Soon, we will see Ford Pro’s innovative and full-service stack creating an always-on relationship with its commercial customers. Ford Pro is honing its focus on helping commercial customers work better and smarter, not harder, with its acquisition of Electriphi.
