“Supercharging” seems to be the word of the day at legacy automaker Ford F -4.78% ▼ today, as word of a new removable charging hub intersected with a new supercharger system for F-150s and Mustangs alike. This combination of somewhat similar events did not bode well for Ford, though, as shares plunged nearly 4.5% in Tuesday afternoon’s trading.

The charging hub is already being regarded by some as Ford’s “…most practical idea yet,” and could be a real winner, particularly in “family car” situations or those who do a lot of traveling with mobile devices. The patent for the device goes clear back to August 2024, but only recently broke cover. It describes a “central charging hub” that fits behind the center console.

The hub includes hooks to hold smaller devices, USB ports for charging (both USB-A and USB-C), as well as a wireless charging pad, which helps ensure your device can charge regardless of how it normally does so. There is even an optional internal battery pack, which allows users to charge devices even when the car itself is not on. This is not necessarily new, as a growing number of cars these days have at least one USB port involved. But Ford is stepping it up and formalizing it, which could prove helpful.

Charging and Supercharging

Meanwhile, those who want to put some extra life in their F-150 or Mustang will be able to get in on a new Supercharger Kit for the 2026 models. The kit is described as having “turnkey installation,” and is also built to the 100,000-mile durability standard that Ford particularly embraces.

It comes with a three-year / 36,000-mile warranty through Ford Racing Parts, which gives customers access to new personalization options. It also helps Ford assert its larger position of “no boring cars,” though this particular option may not be what everyone had in mind.

Is Ford Stock a Good Buy Right Now?

After a 46.82% rally in its share price over the past year, the average F price target of $13.81 per share implies 8.06% upside potential.
