underneath the vehicle. The high-voltage battery system uses an
advanced, active liquid heating and cooling system to regulate
high-voltage battery temperature and help maximize high-voltage battery
life.
Note:The lithium-ion, high-voltage battery will experience gradual
capacity loss with time and use, which is considered normal wear and
tear.
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.
