How and Where to Charge a Ford Electric Vehicle

There are multiple ways of charging your electric vehicle at home and on the go.

Home Charging

Electric vehicle owners typically do 90% of their charging at home. And it’s likely to be the cheapest option, unless your employer offers free charging at work.

  • A Ford Connected Wallbox is the most convenient way and is likely to be the fastest option to charge a Ford electric vehicle at home. (Available at additional cost and installation cost). It will be able to add around 25 miles of range every hour1. With the FordPass app, you will even be able to control the Connected Wallbox and manage access. With a Ford Connected Wallbox installed at home, you can plug your electric car in overnight, just like your phone and could get yourself close to a full charge in the morning. With our specialist partners, we can assist you with the installation (at additional cost).
  • If you have an industrial socket outlet installed, you can charge faster than with a normal socket. You can use the Ford Varipower Home Charge Cable (provided with your vehicle), with its industrial socket connector. Charging this way can also add up to 25 miles every hour1.
  • Finally, you can simply plug into a common domestic socket, using the Ford Varipower Home Charge Cable and its domestic socket connector. This can add around 7 miles of range per hour1. Please ensure your sockets are checked by a qualified electrician to ensure safe operation.

Public Charging

Ford plans to offer access to public charging stations across Europe. Chargers can be unlocked using the Ford charge card (RFID card), the FordPass app or Plug and Charge. You’re likely to come across several types of public charger for your electric vehicle:

Public AC Charger (11-22kW)
For some of these, you’ll need to have your public charge cord, which comes as standard with the Mustang Mach-E and you’ll be able to charge a Mustang Mach-E RWD Extended Range from 10% to 80% in 7.2 hours1.

50 kW DC Charger
These chargers are already commonly available in many countries. A charge cord will always be attached to the station, so you won’t need to use your own. They can charge the Mustang Mach-E RWD Extended Range from 10% to 80% in 1.5 hours1.

150 kW DC Charger
These deliver the fastest charging, allowing you to charge a Mustang Mach-E RWD Extended Range from 10% to 80% in just 45 minutes1, without the need for your public charge cord. The number of high-power chargers is continuously growing, and Ford are a partner in the IONITY network, spreading high-power chargers across European highways.

All values are based on typical conditions. Actual charging rates may vary.

How do I Find a Charger for my Ford Electric Vehicle?

You will simply be able to use the FordPass app or your vehicle navigation system. Both will show you the exact locations, availability and cost of different charging stations. If you are on a journey, both the app and navigation will find chargers along your route and update your ETA to include charge times. You can even pre-plan a journey from the comfort of your home and then send it to your Mustang Mach-E, so you’re ready to go when you leave.

How do I Pay for Charging?

With a FordPass charging subscription you pay for your charging using the 'pay as you go' method. Each time you charge, you’ll receive a notification shortly after, with the details of your charge and the cost that will be billed to you.
