What charging options are there for my Ford electric vehicle?

The following at-home charging options are available:

• Home charging, also referred to as Level 1 charging, uses an existing power point (10-15 amp, single phase), used in combination with a Mode 2 cable.
• A dedicated AC Electric Vehicle (EV) charger can be installed as a ‘charging box’. It can easily top up average daily vehicle use or deliver a full recharge overnight.

The following details are important regarding public charging.

• Public charge stations are third-party vendors.
• Ford is not affiliated with third-party charge stations.
• Station design, availability and plug-in type may vary.
• Some stations require the use of a personal cord instead of a built-in option.
• Most will require you to sign up and subscribe to your network of services before allowing you to use the charge station.

There are different plug-types (dependent on the Battery Electric Vehicle/Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle model), which are:

• Type-2 (Mennekes)
  • Australian standard plug type
  • Charges at rates of 22-50 kiloWatts (kW)
• DC-CCS - Type 2 (Combined Charging System)
  • Combination of the Type 2 (Mennekes) with high-speed charging pins
  • Also known as a CCS - Type 2
  • Charges at rates of 50-350 kW
