Level 1 & 2 EV Chargers For Ford Vehicles
The Ford Mobile Power Cord, also known as the Ford Mobile Charger, provides Level 1 and Level 2 charging capability at home, as well as other destinations.
Level 1 Chargers For Ford Vehicles
The Ford Mobile Power Cord is a Level 1 electric vehicle charging solution and plugs into a standard 120-volt household outlet. While convenient, it provides the slowest charging rate, adding only 4-5 miles of range per hour. Although slower than other methods, Level 1 charging with the Mobile Power Cord offers an affordable and easy-to-use option for Ford EV owners, requiring minimal installation effort.
Level 2 Chargers For Ford Vehicles
For faster charging, Ford recommends Level 2 charging solutions like the Ford Connected Charge Station. Level 2 chargers operate on a 240-volt circuit, similar to what powers an electric clothes dryer. Depending on the vehicle, Level 2 provides between 10-28 miles of range per hour of charging. The Ford Connected Charge Station fully replenishes the battery of a Ford Mustang Mach-E in as little as 7.5 hours at its maximum 48-amp output.
Level 2 home charging is the preferred option for most Ford EV owners who want the convenience of quickly topping up their battery overnight. While more expensive than Level 1, the Ford Connected Charge Station has additional smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity for monitoring and remote access. Professional installation by a licensed electrician is required to ensure the charger operates safely on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
Breakdown of EV Charging Levels
- Level 1: 120v 15amp, adds around 4 miles of range per hour
- Level 2: 240v 30amp, adds around 17 miles of range per hour
- Level 2 (upgraded): 240v 50amp, adds around 25 miles of range per hour
What to Consider Before Installing a Ford EV Charger at Home
Before installing a Ford electric vehicle charger in your home, there are a few key factors to evaluate. Unlike some EVs, Ford vehicles don't include a standard charging cable, so you'll need to purchase one separately based on recommendations from an electrician.
Charger location is important - while outdoor installation is possible, Wisconsin's weather extremes make a garage setup ideal when feasible. An attached garage near your electrical panel allows for an easier hardwired installation. However, detached garage charging may require running additional wiring.
Older Homes & EV Charger Installation
Many older homes have 100-amp electrical panels and can't power a Level 2 charger. Our electricians will assess if your panel has the capacity for a dedicated EV charging circuit. While charging from a 100-amp panel is possible, upgrading to a 200-amp panel future-proofs your home.
