Ford has filed a patent for two charging ports for electric vehicles.

The two ports would charge part of the battery from one energy source.

Ford also has a design for modular batteries that can be removed, making repairs cheaper.

By 2030 , there could be 33 million electric vehicles on U.S. roads, which would need 28 million charging stalls.
