CHARGING THE HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
WARNING: Do not use the 120 volt convenience cord with an
extension cord or adapter.
WARNING: In Canada, do not use the 120 volt convenience cord
in commercial garages.
WARNING: This equipment has arcing or sparking parts that
should not be exposed to flammable vapors. This equipment
should be located at least 18 inches (80 mm) above the floor.
Charging Equipment
Note: Your vehicle comes equipped with a standard 120 volt
convenience cord located in your trunk storage compartment underneath
the carpeted panel. This allows you to charge the battery in your own
garage using a standard 120 volt household outlet. Using the standard
120 volt convenience cord takes up to 18–20 hours to completely charge
from an empty 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 3–4 hours to
fully charge a empty battery.
Note: Your electrical source must meet certain requirements for the
high-voltage battery 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.
