Dallas to Add EV Charging

Dallas selected Ford’s commercial division, Ford Pro™, to help the city with its climate goals by electrifying the city’s vehicle fleet by 2040.

Ford Pro and the City of Dallas entered a 10-year agreement to grow and manage EV charging infrastructure for the city’s fleet operations. Dallas will install Ford Pro chargers at the city’s worksites and use Ford Pro smart charging software to customize and manage EV charging performance. 

In 2020, Dallas approved a Comprehensive Environmental & Climate Action Plan (CECAP) that includes efforts to lower carbon emissions partly by installing EV chargers throughout the city and adding light duty EVs to the city’s fleet of 5,400 vehicles. Ford Pro Charging already serves hundreds of local government customers.

“The City of Dallas is committed to a clean, safe, and healthy environment, and we’re making great strides in our efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality,” said Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson in a statement. “This agreement with Ford Pro marks a significant milestone and will help our city avoid energy waste and save money on energy costs. We look forward to building upon our work with Ford Pro to further scale EV charging infrastructure and electrify our fleet operations to continue to serve our great city now and in the future.”
