Home Charging Options

Easy Home Charging Options for Your Ford Electric Vehicle

Recharging your Ford electric vehicle is as easy as plugging into an existing wall outlet. Plug it in overnight and wake up ready to tackle your day.

Level I Charging: Like Charging Your Smartphone

Charging at home doesn't require any special equipment or additional costs. Plug in directly to a standard three-prong, 120-volt outlet with the included charging cable. Level I provides the slowest charging speeds and typically requires you to plug in overnight, every night, to maintain the charge and ensure enough range to handle all your driving needs throughout the day.

Level 2 Charging: Upgrade for Faster Charging Speeds

Upgrade to a Ford Connected Charge Station for 240-volt/48-amp power. Not only will you charge faster, but you'll also get access to convenient connected features that give you insights into your charging habits and let you know your charging status from the FordPass App. Marlow Ford can help you order a Ford Connected Charge Station and arrange a professional installation.

Do I Need a Garage to Charge My Ford EV?

A garage is not necessary to charge your EV as long as you have a power source nearby where you park and can plug in. If you want to upgrade to the Ford Connected Charger, it is made of weather-proof materials so a professional can install the charger outside in a convenient location for easy access. If you live in an apartment, it's a good idea to contact the property manager to find out your options.

Scheduling a Ford Connected Charge Station Installation

Upgrading to the Ford Connected Charge Station will simplify your Ford EV ownership experience. You can speak with our team at Marlow Ford to arrange the purchase of your charging station and schedule an installation. We recommend a professional installation by a certified technician to protect your vehicle, property and ensure warranty compliance.

Tips for Home Charger Installations

Enjoy all the benefits of EV ownership with a professional home charger installation. Here are some tips to ensure you get the most from your Level II charger:

Seek Out a Professional

Always have a professional who is licensed and bonded for guaranteed quality work and safe operation of your charger. Ford recommends home charger installations by a licensed electrician from Qmerit. Our team at Marlow Ford will help you order and schedule a professional installation.

Cable Basics

For safe operation, ensure there is always some slack in the cable and that the installation does not force you to keep constant tension on the cable.

Use a 240-Volt Outlet

The Ford Connected Charger uses a 240-volt outlet which is more powerful than a standard plug. A 240-volt outlet is the size your larger home appliances use, like a clothes dryer. Ensure an existing 240-volt outlet is correctly placed and working properly. A professional installation is always recommended if you need to have one installed.

Choose the Right Location

You can arrange for your home charger installation inside a garage or outdoors - just be sure it is accessible to where you normally park for easy use. Remember your vehicle's orientation and the location of your charge port.

Ensure Secure Mounting

The charger needs to be mounted to a vertical wall stud or secured with mounting anchors appropriate for the weight and daily use.
