FORD 2013 C-MAX Hybrid v.3 - Manual (Page 207)

Charging Equipment
Your vehicle comes equipped with a standard 120-volt convenience cord
located in the floor compartment behind the driver’s seat.
Note: The 120–volt convenience cord allows you to charge the
high-voltage battery using a standard 120-volt household outlet.
Using the standard 120-volt convenience cord takes up to 7 hours
to completely charge from an empty battery.
Ford recommends upgrading to the
optional 240-volt charging station
for faster more efficient charging.
Use of a 240-volt charging station
will take approximately 2
1 ⁄
2
hours
to fully charge a empty battery.
Note: Your electrical source must meet certain requirements for the
high-voltage batteries to charge. The AC outlet must be a three-prong
110-120 volt AC outlet that is properly grounded, 15–20 amps (or
greater), and in good condition. The line also must be dedicated, which
means that no other appliances should be connected to the same circuit.
If a dedicated circuit is not used, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If a dedicated circuit is not available, contact a licensed professional
electrician for proper installation.
Make sure that the 120 volt convenience cord is completely unwound
before charging. Always plug the cord into the AC outlet before
connecting the charging coupler into the vehicle’s charge port receptacle.
The 120 volt convenience cord inline control box has three indicator
lights that represent the charging status; power, charge and fault.
