WHAT IS THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY
The high voltage battery is a highly
sophisticated lithium ion battery system,
used to store electrified energy to power
the vehicle.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: This battery pack
should only be serviced by an authorized
electric vehicle technician. Improper
handling can result in personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Keep your hands and
clothing clear of the cooling fan.
Your vehicle consists of various
high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through
specific wiring assemblies labeled as such
or covered with a solid orange convolute,
or orange striped tape, or both. Do not
come in contact with these components.
PRESERVING YOUR HIGH
VOLTAGE BATTERY
When using the battery at a low state of
charge, your vehicle could start disabling
accessory features to protect battery life.
If your vehicle reaches a 0% state of
charge, recharge your vehicle as soon as
possible.
In everyday use it is acceptable to use the
full state of charge window, however there
are a few best practices we recommend
in order to maintain the health and life of
your battery. Overnight Charging
You can increase the longevity and
performance of your high voltage battery
by using the charge scheduling and
departure and comfort settings on your
touchscreen or in the FordPass app.
With Charge Scheduling you can improve
the high voltage battery's longevity by
delaying the start of charging and setting
a maximum charging limit. It is
recommended to set your preferred
charging times to be at least 2-3 hours
after your typical plug in time. This allows
the battery to cool before charging begins.
Additionally, setting the maximum charge
level to be less than 100% for everyday
usage reduces strain on the battery.
You can improve driving range and
performance by scheduling departure
times and cabin comfort level with the
Departure and Comfort feature. This will
not only warm or cool the cabin but also
condition the battery to ensure best driving
range and performance by the set
departure time.
DC Charging
Frequent use of DC charging could result
in reducing your battery's efficiency and
lifespan. This is more pronounced on the
standard range battery pack versus the
extended range battery pack. See
What
is DC Charging (page 159).
Storage Temperature
Storing your vehicle in temperatures
between
32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C) is
the most beneficial for the high voltage
battery.
At temperatures below
39°F (4°C) your
vehicle should be plugged in to maintain
battery performance and maximize driving
range.

Storage State of Charge
You can increase the battery life by
maintaining your state of charge below
100%. When you park your vehicle for an
extended period of 30 days or more, we
recommend your battery be at an
approximately 50% state of charge.
Storing your vehicle's high voltage battery
at higher states of charge is less favorable
than storing at lower states of charge.
Note:
To achieve this state of charge for
storage, you can drive your vehicle down to
50% and set a charge limit for your location.
See Setting the Charging Schedule and
Preferences (page 174).
RECYCLING AND DISPOSING
OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY
Please recycle in accordance with local
regulations.

WHAT IS AC CHARGING
AC charging is the preferred method of
charging. AC charging preserves the health
of the high voltage battery for longer high
voltage battery life.
WHAT IS DC CHARGING
DC charging allows you to charge the
vehicle's high voltage battery in
significantly less time than the standard
charge method. You can charge on the go
before the battery has exhausted all of its
power, or when traveling using the trip
planner as part of your FordPass App.
For the convenience of DC charging and
time, there is a different fee structure
depending on the charging station and
network you choose.
Note:
Charge times could vary depending
on ambient air temperature, power level,
charger type, and location in which you are
charging.
Note: The DC charging rate could be
reduced to maximize the life of the battery.

The mobile charger is in the rear luggage
compartment under the load floor and
allows you to charge the vehicle's battery
using a standard household outlet.
You must plug the connector into the
control box first. Then plug the connector
into the household outlet, and then plug
the coupler into the vehicle charge port.
The power indicator illuminates blue when
the connector is properly inserted into the
control box and dedicated wall outlet.
Note: To insert the connector, firmly grasp
the connector by the cable or plug and push
into the control box until an audible click is
heard. Make sure the connector is fully
inserted and flush with the control box
before inserting it into the outlet. Improper
insertion will cause a longer charge session.
Note: Follow the installation instructions
provided with the mobile charger.
Note: We recommend using the supplied
plugs and connectors.
Note: If you do not use a dedicated circuit,
the circuit breaker could trip or open. If a
dedicated circuit is not available, contact a
licensed professional electrician regarding
the installation of a dedicated outlet. Note:
The mobile charger does not charge
and gives a fault indication, if ground is not
present.
Note: Plug the connector for the mobile
charger directly into the wall plug
receptacle. Do not plug the mobile charger
into any form of extension cord.
Note: If the wall bracket is not used for
mounting the charging equipment, plug the
charging equipment into an outlet closer to
ground.
