Note: The 120–volt convenience cord
allows you to charge the high-voltage
battery using a standard 120-volt household
outlet. Using the standard 120-volt
convenience cord takes approximately 7
hours to completely charge from an empty
battery.
E145429
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 2 ½ hours to fully charge an
empty battery.
Note: Your 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. The line also must
be dedicated, which means that no other
appliances should be connected to the
same circuit. If a dedicated circuit is not
used, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If a dedicated circuit is not available, contact
a licensed professional electrician for proper
installation.
