ChargePoint announced ChargePoint Omni Port, an EV connector solution which ensures any EV can charge in any parking space, regardless of its connector type, and without an expensive additional cable.
Drivers can expect a frictionless charging experience when using Omni Port, simply needing to enter their vehicle’s make and model into the ChargePoint app, tapping to charge, and allowing the charging station to automatically release the correct connector type.
For those who do not use the ChargePoint app, a driver simply selects the correct connector on the charger screen. Omni Port eliminates the hassle of carrying adapters while forming a simpler, more convenient charging experience.

In 2022, Avondale Estates, Georgia, began transitioning some of its police department’s gas-powered vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). Chief Harry Hess had his reservations at first, but the EVs proved to be a worthy investment, resulting in monthly savings for the department.
Ford Pro has ushered in a new era of scheduled vehicle maintenance for Avondale Estates PD’s remaining gas-powered vehicles. When Hess first joined the department, he inherited vehicles that hadn’t followed a consistent vehicle maintenance schedule.
Not only has Avondale Estates begun transitioning to electric police vehicles, but it’s also adopted software to keep tabs on its fleet and help ensure vehicles are properly maintained.
Ford Motor Company and TXU Energy have teamed up to create a first-of-its-kind retail energy offering for Ford electric SUV and truck customers in Texas.
Ford EV customers will get a credit on their TXU Energy bill for all home energy used for vehicle charging during the free charging hours, which are between 7 p.m. and 1 p.m. the next day, all year long.
Through the TXU Free EV Miles program, Ford aims to educate Texans about the perks of driving electric while incentivizing consumers to charge when demand on the grid is at its lowest.
