Intended use

The Ford Connected Charge Station is designed for
charging electric vehicles in accordance with SAE J1772,
charge Level 2. In this mode, the charge station ensures
that:
– The voltage is not applied before the vehicle has
been properly connected.
– The maximum power is calibrated.
– The AC/DC converter is in the vehicle.
The charge station does not support ventilation,
therefore if the EV requests ventilation, the EVSE (electric
vehicle supply equipment) will not energize the system.
