access the 120–volt convenience cord.
Note: The 120–volt convenience cord

High Voltage Battery

Ford recommends upgrading to the
optional 240-volt charging station for
faster more efficient charging. Use of a
240-volt charging station will take
approximately 2½ hours to fully charge an
empty battery.
Note: The electrical source must meet
certain requirements for the high-voltage
batteries to charge. The AC outlet must be
a three-prong 110-120 volt AC outlet that is
properly grounded, 15–20 amps (or greater)
and in good condition. You must use a
dedicated line, which means you cannot
have other appliances connected to the
same circuit. If you do not use dedicated
circuit, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If you do not have a dedicated circuit,
contact a licensed professional electrician
for proper installation.
Make sure that the 120–volt convenience
cord is completely unwound before
charging. Always plug the cord into the AC
outlet before connecting the charging
coupler into the charge port receptacle of
your vehicle. The 120–volt convenience
cord inline control box has three indicator
lights that represent the charging status,
power, charge and fault.
Power (green light) — this indicator
lights up when you plug the cord into the
AC wall outlet.
Charge (green light) — indicates status
of charging:
• No light means you have not connected
the cord to the vehicle.
• Blinking light means that the charging
is in process.
• Solid light means you have connected
the cord, but the vehicle is not charging.
