Ford says it is 'listening' and creating exceptions to fine-tune the Model e electric vehicle certification programs for different markets.
About 83 per cent of Ford dealers in Canada have enrolled in the automaker’s controversial Model e electric vehicle certification programs, although talks between retailers and the company will continue until at least the end of March.
And, in small markets where initial EV demand is expected to be limited, Model e dealers will be allowed to have at least one public-facing DC fast charger available on the Blue Oval Charge Network, said Joakim.Discussions on the Model e program began in the spring of 2022 and dealers initially had a Dec. 16 deadline to sign up at estimated costs of $1.3 million for Certified Elite and $560,000 for Certified.
After the Feb. 24 deadline, Ford announced that 338 dealers — 83 per cent — had signed onto the program, with 226 opting for Elite and 112 choosing Certified. “As we are still in active discussions, I am not at a comfort level to discuss what transpired and how we got to the 83 per cent enrolment level until we finish the discussions,” Campbell wrote in an email. “We are meeting face-to-face at the end of March to have some more discussions.”
