There are multiple ways of charging your electric vehicle at home and on the go.

Home charging

• A Ford Connected Wallbox is the most convenient and is likely to be the fastest way to charge your Mustang Mach-E at home. It will add around 30km of range every hour. With the FordPass app^{FordPass BEV}, you can even control the Connected Wallbox and manage access.
• If you have an industrial socket outlet installed, you can charge faster than with a normal socket. You can use the Ford Varipower Home Charge Cable (provided with your vehicle), with its industrial socket connector. Charging this way adds around 20km of range every hour.
• Finally, you can simply plug into a common domestic socket, using the home charge cord and its domestic socket connector. This can add around 12km of range per hour. Please ensure your sockets are checked by a professional electrician to ensure safe operation.
• Public charging

Public charging

Ford plans to offer access to public charging stations across Europe. Chargers can be unlocked using the Ford charge card (RFID card), the FordPass app or Plug and Charge. You’re likely to come across several different types of pubic charger for your electric vehicle:

Public AC Charger (11-22kW). For some of these, you’ll need to have your public charge cord, which comes as standard with the Mustang Mach-E and you’ll get around 48km of range per hour.

50 kW DC Charger. These chargers are already commonly available in many countries. A charge cord will always be attached to the station, so you won’t need to use your own. They can deliver around 300km of range every hour.

150 kW DC Charger. These deliver the fastest charging, adding around 560km of range per hour, without the need for your public charge cord. The number of high-power chargers is continuously growing, and Ford are a partner in the IONITY network, spreading high-power chargers across European highways.

All values are based on typical conditions. Actual charging rates may vary.

Electric vehicle owners typically do 90% of their charging at home. And it’s likely to be the cheapest option, unless your employer offers free charging at work.

With a Ford Connected Wallbox installed at home, you can plug your electric car in overnight and guarantee yourself close to a full charge in the morning, just like your phone. With our specialist partners, we can assist you with the installation. More details on the Ford Connected Wallbox will be coming in spring 2020.

You can also charge slower using your standard equipment cable in a Ford Varipower Home Charge Cable normal household socket, or in a higher power industrial socket. 

There are various ways to charge an electric car quickly:

Public AC Charger: (11-22kW). For some of these, you’ll need to have your public charge cord, which comes as standard with the Mustang Mach-E and you’ll get around 48km of range per hour.

50 kW DC Charger: These chargers are already commonly available in many countries. A charge cord will always be attached to the station, so you won’t need to use your own. They can deliver around 300km of range every hour.

150 DC Charger: These deliver the fastest charging, adding around 560km of range per hour, without the need for your public charge cord. The number of high-power chargers is continuously growing, and Ford are a partner in the IONITY network, spreading high-power chargers across European highways.

All values are based on typical conditions. Actual charging rates may vary.

The right charging equipment for your home depends on your accommodation and your driving patterns.

See How do I charge an electric car for more details.

You can simply use the FordPass app or your vehicle navigation system. Both will show you the exact locations, availability and cost of different charging stations.

If you are on a journey, both the app and navigation will find chargers along your route and update your ETA to include charge times.

You can even pre-plan a journey from the comfort of your home and then send it to your Mustang Mach-E, so you’re ready to go when you leave.

With a FordPass charging subscription you pay for your charging using the 'pay as you go' method. Each time you charge, you’ll receive a notification shortly after, with the details of your charge and the cost that will be billed to you.

Electric car ranges vary a lot, from city cars with smaller batteries to SUV’s with much larger batteries. The Mustang Mach-E has a targeted range of 450km with the standard battery, or up 600km with the extended range battery.^{Targeted Range}

Think about your longest regular journey and how far you actually drive on a daily basis. Then also consider that if you’re able to charge at home you can ‘fill up’ every night just by plugging in. It soon becomes clear that with these ranges, most trips can be made by charging at home. And when you do have a long distance trip, public charging, and IONITY high power charging through FordPass, can easily be planned as part of your trip.

Batteries have an optimal operating temperature, and they heat and cool themselves to achieve it. They have to power everything that you switch on, so everything you do to reduce the power needed will improve your range. There are many ways you can help to maximise the range of your electric car during cold weather:

• Pre-heat your car while it’s charging, before you leave.
• Remove any snow so it’s not heavier than necessary.
• Use the heated seats and steering wheel rather than heat up the entire cabin.
• Drive economically – a steady speed that isn’t high, with gentle acceleration and braking etc.
• Maximise the power recovered through regenerative braking by braking gradually when possible.
• Connect your electric car to an external power source whenever it’s parked, to keep the system warm from an external source and to re-charge.

Over 5 years (or 96,000 km), Mustang Mach-E could help you save up to 50% on scheduled servicing, compared to a combustion engine vehicle.^{Service savings}

This is because electric vehicles have fewer moving parts, so maintenance costs should be lower. Plus, the Mustang Mach-E comes with an 8-year battery warranty too.

Currently there are two seperate grants availble for electric vehilces in Ireland; the SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) offer up to €5,000 on qualifying electric vehicles and a VRT rebate of up to €5,000 can also be applied to qualifying vehicles. Visit seai.ie & gov.ie for more details.

Typically, charging an electric vehicle costs €660.00 a year. Compared to €2,217.60 a year for petrol/diesel.^{Fuel savings}

Electric vehicles are not only a necessary next step towards making the future of driving CO₂ neutral, they also have their own new, exciting characteristics.

Our plan for electrification is simple. We’re taking the things people already love about Ford: capability, performance and technology, and transforming them through the unique qualities of electric vehicles.
