Ford and AT&T have announced a partnership that will see the upcoming electric Focus able to connect to AT&T’s network wirelessly. The connection will allow car owners to access data about their car via the MyFord mobile app.
The app will provide a pretty wide range of information, including details on the current state of charge, a map of nearby charging stations, and you can even create a route to guide you to your car if you ever happen to lose it. It can also be set-up to notify you if the battery needs a charge or if, for some reason, the charging happens to stop.
“With a wireless connection, we’re putting battery charge and vehicle range information, along with an interactive, data-driven trip planning app, directly at the fingertips of our customers,” Ford’s Ed Pleetsaid. “This technology will keep drivers connected to vital information, enhancing their electric car ownership experience. The AT&T network is an important part of this equation and we’re pleased to have AT&T on board.”
