Charging Equipment
Note: Your vehicle comes equipped with a standard 120-volt
convenience cord located in the floor compartment behind the driver’s
seat.
The 120–volt convenience cord allows you to charge the battery in your
own garage using a standard 120-volt household outlet. Using the
standard 120-volt convenience cord takes 6–8 hours to fully charge 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 3–4 hours to
fully charge an 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.
