How and Where to Charge a Ford Electric Vehicle

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

Home charging

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.

• A Ford Connected Wallbox is the most convenient way and is likely to be the fastest option to charge a Ford electric vehicle at home. (Available at additional cost and installation cost). It will add around 30km of range every hour. With the FordPass app, you will even be able to control the Connected Wallbox and manage access. With a Ford Connected Wallbox installed at home, you can plug your electric car in overnight, just like your phone and could get yourself close to a full charge in the morning. With our specialist partners, we can assist you with the installation (at additional cost).

• 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

Ford offers access to public charging stations across Europe as part of the BlueOval™ Charging Network. Chargers can be unlocked using the BlueOval Charge Card (RFID), the FordPass app or Plug and Charge. You’re likely to come across several different types of public 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.

How do I Find a Charger for my Ford Electric Vehicle?

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.

How and Where can I Charge Abroad?

Once activated, the BlueOval Charging Card can be used at any charging station shown within the FordPass app or on our website. This covers the following countries: United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Poland, Portugal, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland, Czechia, Greece, Hungary and Romania.

If you plan to recharge your vehicle at a home in another country, you may need a Universal Cord Connector that fits the local plug sockets. These can be ordered from your Ford Dealer. Some countries also have an online Ford parts store.

How do I Pay for Charging? 

You can pay for charging by using your BlueOval Charge Card at any charging station in the BlueOval Charge Network. We will automatically bill the default payment card in your Ford Pay Wallet after each completed charging session. This billing authorisation will continue until your access to the BlueOval Charge Network expires or is cancelled.

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.
