Charging

If using a 240 volt charging station,
follow the instructions on the charge
station to begin the charging process.

The charge indicator shows the progress
of the charge. Starting at the bottom, the
four lights will either flash to indicate
charging in progress or remain illuminated
to indicate charge level. When all four
lights illuminate, charging is complete. The
charge indicator will turn off one minute
after reaching a full charge.

Locking the AC Charging Coupler

To lock the charging coupler, you need a
padlock or a combination lock with a
shackle diameter of 0.2 in (5 mm) or less.
The straight portion of the shackle must
be 1.0 in (25 mm) or longer.

E258257

Insert the lock through the hole in the
charging coupler button.

2. Lock the padlock or combination lock.

Waiting to Charge

You can personalize the charge settings.
See Charging the High Voltage Battery
(page 110). When you select Value Charge,
the vehicle may delay charging to take
advantage of off-peak electricity rates. The
vehicle will optimize the charge schedule
to be complete by the next GO Time.

When waiting to charge, the charge
indicator will show the current state of
charge of the high voltage battery.

When all four lights are off the charge level
is between 0 and 25 percent.

Note: When the vehicle is waiting to charge,
the charge indicator will turn off one minute
after displaying the current state of charge.
When the vehicle automatically begins
charging, the charge indicator will turn on
and indicate the progress of the charge.

Note: If the system detects a vehicle
charging system fault at any point in a
charge cycle, the entire charge indicator will
flash continuously for one minute and then
turn off. If this happens, unplug the charging
coupler and then plug it back into the charge
port. If the problem persists, contact an
authorized dealer.

Disconnecting the Charging Coupler

Press and hold the button on the
charging coupler and disconnect from
the charging port.

Note: Do not pull the wall plug from the
wall while the vehicle is charging. Doing so
may damage the outlet and the cord.

2. Close the charge port door.

Note: To close the charge port door, press
the center rear edge of the charge port door
and then release.

Convenience Charging and MyFord
Mobile

Use the MyFord Mobile app to set up the
charging convenience features. Visit
myfordmobile.com for more complete
information and to set up your MyFord
Mobile account.

Your vehicle has the following features to
improve your charging experience.

Value Charge

The vehicle schedules charging at the
lowest available utility rates. Contact your
utility company to see what rates are
available.

Charge Now

Fully charge your vehicle at the quickest
rate. The vehicle starts charging
immediately after you connect the
charging plug into the vehicle.

My GO Time

Setting My GO Times through the MyFord
Mobile application allows you to set
charging schedules and cabin
preconditioning settings so your vehicle is
ready to drive when you are. By setting a
My GO Time the vehicles charge can be
completed before your next set drive time.
A calendar view allows you to program two
My GO Times per day for each of the seven
days of the week. Remember, your vehicle
must be plugged in for My GO Time to
work.

Cabin Preconditioning

Get the most miles out of every charge by
preconditioning your vehicle while it’s still
plugged in and charging. Use your smart
phone to set the cabin temperature and
departure time before you leave so you use
energy from your home wall outlet instead
of your battery to heat or cool your vehicle.
