Charging Your Mustang Mach E: Three Effective Ways to Juice Up
Charging your Ford Mustang Mach E offers a versatility that many electric car aficionados appreciate. Depending on your needs, location, and setup, there are three primary methods to ensure your vehicle is always ready to hit the roads.
1. Ford Connected Charge Station:
The creme-de-la-creme of chargers designed exclusively for the Ford EV range. This hardwired 240V/48A behemoth ensures you get the fastest charge time , providing up to 27 average miles of range per charging hour. That’s a complete 0 to 100% charge in approximately 10.9 hours! But here’s the catch – due to its intricate design and safety regulations, this charging station requires installation by a professional. If you’re considering this option, always ensure a licensed electrician handles it. Ford’s recommended installer is Qmerit, guaranteeing a hassle-free and safe setup.
2. Ford Mobile Charger (240V/32A NEMA 14-50 Wall Outlet):
A step down but by no means less effective is the mobile charger designed for 240V wall outlets. This is your mid-tier charging solution, providing up to 32 amps of charging power and yielding 21 average miles of range per charging hour. It’s versatile, efficient, and although it’s possible to install yourself, if you’re setting up a new 240V wall outlet, it’s always safer to rely on a licensed electrician. Again, Qmerit stands out as the top recommendation from Ford for this installation.
3. Ford Mobile Charger (120V/12A Wall Outlet):
The simplest of the trio, this charger works seamlessly with the regular outlet found in most homes. Simplicity doesn’t mean it’s less functional. It delivers up to 12 amps of charging power, ideal for short runs and quick top-ups, providing 3 average miles of range per charging hour. The beauty of this charger lies in its plug-and-play nature, ensuring your Mach E is always ready for the next adventure.
In conclusion, the Ford Mustang Mach E offers multiple charging solutions tailored to your needs. However, safety first! When contemplating the installation of the Ford Connected Charge Station or a new 240V outlet, always enlist the expertise of a certified electrician. Safe charging ensures many miles of smooth driving ahead.
Home Charging and Staying Connected with the FordPass App
Powering up your Ford Mustang Mach E from the convenience of your home is a game-changer. Gone are the days of frequent gas station stops; now, your home becomes your personal fueling station. Let’s delve into how to charge at home and the myriad benefits of the FordPass App.
Charging the Mach E is straightforward:
1. Ford Mobile Charger (120V/12A Wall Outlet): Most homes have the regular outlet , making this a popular choice. To charge, ensure your cord is completely unwound to prevent overheating. Plug one end of the connector into the Ford mobile charger control box and the other into the dedicated outlet. It’s essential no other devices are connected to the same circuit to avoid tripping the circuit breaker.
2. Ford Mobile Charger (240V) & Connected Charge Station: If you’ve opted for these, the method remains almost the same. After ensuring the cord is unwound, plug the connector into the charger, then into your vehicle.
3. Locate the charge port in front of the driver’s side door and gently press on its center-right edge to unlatch. A helpful light illuminates, assisting with the plug-in process. Once connected correctly, a light ring indicates the commencement of a normal charge cycle.
4. Monitor the charge status with ease. Not only can you check it on the physical light ring indicator, but also on your car’s cluster, the sync 4a screen, or the ever-convenient FordPass App.
