At Corwin Ford Nampa, we’re here to ensure you have everything you need to make the most of your electric Mustang Mach-E. From choosing the right charger to understanding charging times, we’ve got you covered.

Common Questions About Charging the Ford Mustang Mach-E

1. What Are My Charging Options?

The Mustang Mach-E offers flexibility with three main charging levels:

• Level 1 (Standard Outlet):
  • Use a regular 120V outlet at home.
  • Best for light use—adds about 3 miles of range per hour.
  • Great for overnight top-ups but not ideal for full charges.
• Level 2 (Home or Public Chargers):
  • Requires a 240V outlet, like those used for dryers.
  • Adds up to 30 miles of range per hour.
  • Ideal for daily use, especially with a Ford Connected Charge Station installed at home.
• DC Fast Charging (Public Stations):
  • Adds up to 61 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
  • Perfect for road trips or when you’re short on time.

2. How Do I Charge at Home?

Home charging is one of the biggest perks of owning an EV. Here’s how to set up and use it:

• Install a Level 2 Charger: Contact a licensed electrician to install a 240V outlet or Ford’s Connected Charge Station.
• Plug It In: Connect the charging cable to the vehicle’s charge port. A light on the charge port will indicate the status:
  • Blue: Charging is in progress.
  • Green: Charging is complete.
• Set Charging Preferences: Use the FordPass app to schedule charging during off-peak hours to save on electricity costs.

3. Where Can I Find Public Charging Stations?

Charging on the go is simple with thousands of public stations nationwide. Popular options include:

• Electrify America
• EVgo
• ChargePoint
• Tesla Destination Chargers (with an adapter)

Use the FordPass app to locate stations, check availability, and even pay for charging.

Tips for Charging Your Mustang Mach-E

1. Plan for Longer Trips:
   • Use Ford’s in-car navigation system to find charging stations along your route.
   • Keep an eye on your remaining range and plan ahead.
2. Maintain Battery Health:
   • Avoid letting the battery drop to 0% or charging it to 100% all the time. For daily use, aim for a charge level between 20% and 80%.
   • Extreme temperatures can affect charging times—try to park in shaded or covered areas when possible.
3. Save Money While Charging:
   • Many utilities offer lower rates during off-peak hours. Schedule your home charging for late at night to take advantage of these savings.
