How do you charge a Ford electric van?

Charging a Ford Electric Van
To charge a Ford electric van, you have a few options for both at-home and public charging. Here’s how you can charge your Ford electric van:
At-Home Charging:
– To maximize your charge speed at home, the Ford Connected Charge Station delivers up to 48A to your EV. The charge station can be installed inside a garage or on an exterior wall by a licensed electrician. You can find a local professional through Qmerit.com.
– Charge time depends on whether you are using the Ford Mobile Charger or the aftermarket Ford Connected Charge Station. It’s recommended to give your vehicle battery ample time to charge and suggest overnight charging, when possible.
– You can also set the maximum charge level for your electric vehicle with SYNC 4. Ford recommends setting the Max Charge Level to no more than 90% to help prolong battery life.
Public Charging:
– The BlueOval Charge Network combines multiple charging networks, giving you hassle-free, pay-as-you-go access to the largest public charging network, including Electrify America DC fast chargers, where charging your all-electric vehicle takes minutes, not hours. You can find, start, and pay for charging all through the convenience of one app or your vehicle’s touchscreen.
– With Plug & Charge technology through the FordPass App, you can automatically pay for charging by simply plugging into a participating public charging station, eliminating the need to use smartphones or credit cards. After you turn on your Plug & Charge feature in the FordPass App, participating stations will be able to communicate with your electric vehicle and bill you accordingly.
– You can find public charging stations for your electric vehicle (EV) by using the FordPass App or your SYNC system. If you run out of charge on the road, Roadside Assistance will tow you to your home, the nearest public charger, or a Ford EV-certified dealer.
These options provide flexibility and convenience for charging your Ford electric van, whether at home or on the go.
