Charging Locations Press the edit button to set
preferred charge times for a
specific charging location.
Your vehicle prioritizes charging based on
your preferred time settings. You can set
two preferred charging time windows for
weekdays and two for weekends. This
feature allows you to take advantage of
electric utility rate plans that offer lower
pricing during certain times of day. Contact
your utility company to see what plans are
available.
Note: Your vehicle will charge during your
preferred time windows. Charging outside
these windows only occurs when additional
charging time is needed to reach the
maximum charge level set for this location
by your next departure time.
Note: You can also access this feature
using the FordPass app.
Departure and Comfort Press the edit button for
departure and comfort settings. Setting departure times allows you to
control charging schedules and have the
vehicle cabin heated or cooled while
plugged in, so your vehicle is ready to drive
when you are. By setting a departure time,
your vehicle can use your charge time
settings to minimize your electricity costs
but still prioritize finishing charging before
your scheduled departure. The calendar
view allows you to program two departure
times per day for each day of the week.
Note:
Using energy from your charging
source while plugged in, requires less energy
from the high voltage battery for heating or
cooling at the start of your drive. This helps
maximize your driving range.
Note: You can also access this feature
using the FordPass app.
Additional information and settings are
displayed on the charge settings screen
once charging locations and departure and
comfort have been set up.

conditioning is limited to the charging
station power available. At low ambient
temperatures and low charge power, a
small amount of high voltage battery power
in addition to the charging power could be
used to heat the cabin.

CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE
HINTS
We recommend limiting the amount of DC
charges, and ending DC charges at 80%
state of charge as charging between 80
and 100% can incur high charging costs
due to the time to completion. 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. In cold temperatures, you may notice that
DC charging takes longer when the
ambient temperature drops below 50°F
(10°C). Shutting off climate control or
reducing climate control temperature and
fan settings for the first 10 to 15 minutes of
DC charging will allow the battery to warm
up and improve the charging rate.
Note: When the temperature is below
freezing, fully turning off cabin heat for the
first 10 to 15 minutes of DC charging could
significantly improve the charging rate.
