Why Ford Charging Solutions Are Different
Ford is strongly committed to electrification and offers various models, such as the Mustang Mach-E, Kuga Plug-in Hybrid and the fully electric E-Transit. Each of these models has specific charging specifications:
-
Mustang Mach-E : Equipped with a Type 2 connector and supports both AC charging (up to 11 kW) and DC fast charging (up to 150 kW).
-
Kuga Plug-in Hybrid : Features a Type 2 connection and charges via AC up to 3.7 kW.
-
E-Transit : Equipped with a Type 2 connection and supports AC charging up to 22 kW and DC fast charging up to 180 kW.
This variation in charging specifications means it is essential to choose the correct charging cables and stations that are compatible with your specific Ford model.
Charging at home or on the go? This suits Ford drivers
Charging flexibility is key for Ford drivers. Home charging offers the convenience of charging your vehicle overnight, so you can set off with a full battery every morning. Ford works with partners such as ChargeCars.nl and Tibber to offer home charging solutions that suit your needs.
When you’re on the move, Ford’s extensive public charging network provides access to thousands of charging points, making it easy to top up on longer journeys. In addition, Ford is introducing initiatives such as the “Ford Power Promise”, which provides customers with a free home charger and installation when purchasing a new EV, to help make the transition to electric driving easier.
Which charging cables, chargers and stations are suitable?
Choosing the right charging accessories depends on your specific Ford model and your charging needs:
-
Charging Cables : For models with a Type 2 connection, such as the Mustang Mach-E and Kuga Plug-in Hybrid, Type 2 charging cables are ideal.
