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).

WARNING: Do not replace the plug
on the connector. There are critical
safety devices in the plug, and the
charging equipment will not operate, if
the plug is replaced. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in electric shock,
personal injury, death, or fire. WARNING:
Charging equipment
contains no user modifiable or repairable
parts. If the charging equipment plug
does not properly fit into the wall outlet,
have a qualified electrician install the
correct wall outlet. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death. WARNING: High voltage is present
in your electric meter housing and power
distribution service panel. Contact with
high voltage can cause death or serious
personal injury. WARNING:
Visually inspect the
charging equipment before each use. Do
not use the charging equipment if it is
damaged. WARNING:
Keep charging
equipment inside when not in use. Stow
the control box on the hanger or all the
charging equipment in the bag after use
to prevent damage to the charging
equipment and personal injury.
Your vehicle comes with a mobile charger
that has a low power connector to use with
a 120V plug NEMA 5-15 and a high power

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use cleaners or solvents as this
could damage your mobile charger. Do not
place stress on the charger cables. If unit
overheats, remove the mobile charger from
direct sunlight.
SAFETY FEATURES
The charger includes the following safety
features to protect against the risk of
electric shock:
•
Service Ground Check: The charger
constantly checks for the presence of
a service ground connection. If the
service ground ever fails, the charger
red indicator turns ON and shuts down
power to the vehicle.
• Thermal Event Sensor: Charger module
senses out-of-ordinary thermal events
and decreases the charging current or
shuts the unit down if required.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
Protection: The charger has a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) reaction
system to protect against electric
shock. If the charger module detects
an output ground fault, it shuts down
power to the output cable and
illuminates the red indicator.
• Insulation: The charger module,
connector, cable assembly, and charge
coupler are completely insulated.
There are no exposed live parts, to
protect against electric shock.
• Unintentional Disconnection: The
charge coupler is designed to minimize
unintentional disconnection. A pilot
signal wire in the cable and charge
coupler eliminates the possibility of
electric shock when not connected to
a vehicle or if an unintended disconnect
occurs during a charge. Disconnection
during charging is safe. LOCATING THE CHARGE PORT
The charge port is between the front
left-hand side door and front left-hand
wheel well. To open, press the center
right-hand edge of the charge port door
and then release.
Note:
Do not apply excessive force. Forcing
the door open or closed damages the charge
port.
CHARGE PORT INDICATORS
The charge status indicator is next to the
charging port behind the charge port door.
It indicates the charge status of the high
voltage battery in your vehicle.
Divided into five zones, the charge status
indicator displays the state of charge in 20
percent increments.
The charge status indicator displays how
far along the charge is:
• When zone A is pulsing, the charge is
between 0-20 percent.
• When zone A illuminates, and zone B
is pulsing, the charge is between 20-40
percent.
• When zones A and B illuminate and
zone C is pulsing, the charge is between
40-60 percent.

2021 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 07-06-2021, enUSA, Edition date: 202104, First-Printing Charging Your VehicleE317346

•
When zones A, B, and C illuminate, and
zone D is pulsing, the charge is between
60-80 percent.
• When zones A, B, C, and D illuminate,
and zone E is pulsing, the charge is
between 80-100 percent.
• When all zones illuminate, the charge
is 100 percent. Note:
When charging stops, the charge
status indicator shows all the completed
zones solidly illuminated up in a blue color
for 30 seconds before turning off. For
example, if charging stops at 70 percent,
then A, B, and C light up solidly to indicate
a battery charge level of at least 60 percent
but less than 80 percent. Charging stops
when complete or when paused due to
charge settings or charge station actions.
Note: If the charge status indicator does
not light up or pulse after plugging in, please
verify that the charge port light setting is On.
If you do not wish to have the charge status
indicator light up at all while charging, then
you can turn it Off. Locate the charge port
light under the vehicle settings on your
in-vehicle touchscreen.
There are three charge port indicator light
colors, which indicate a specific action:
White is used as a courtesy light to help
with plugging in and to acknowledge
actions such as plugging in and unplugging. Blue is used when the vehicle is plugged in
and either charging or waiting to charge.
Amber is used to indicate charge faults.
Note:
Charging faults are identified by the
color amber on the charge status indicator.
Faults can occur within the vehicle charging
system or outside the vehicle, such as with
the mobile charger, charge station or
electrical supply.
Note: If the system detects a fault in the
vehicle charging system at any point in a
charge cycle, the entire charge status
indicator illuminates solidly in an amber
color for 30 seconds and then turns off. If
this happens, unplug the charge coupler and
then plug it back into the charge port
receptacle. If the problem persists, have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
Note: If the system detects a fault outside
the vehicle, such as with the charge station
or mobile charger, the entire charge status
indicator flashes amber continuously for 30
seconds and then turns off. If this happens
check the mobile charger, charge station or
electrical supply.
AC CHARGING
CONNECTING THE CHARGER Charging Using the Mobile Charger
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE- The plug must be properly
grounded. Use a dedicated circuit. If you
do not use a dedicated circuit, the circuit
breaker could trip or open. If you do not
have a dedicated circuit, contact a licensed
professional electrician for proper
installation.

To charge the high voltage battery:
You must unwrap the mobile charger
completely before charging.
1. Put the vehicle in park (P).
Note:
Your vehicle must be in park (P) to
charge and for the charge status indicator
to illuminate.
2. Press the center right edge of the charge port door and then release to
open the door.
3. Plug the connector into the control box.
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
or faults.
4. Plug the connector into the wall outlet.
5. Confirm that the mobile charger's indicators illuminate.
6. Plug the charge coupler into the charge
port receptacle on your vehicle. Note:
Make sure the button clicks
confirming that you have completely
engaged the coupler. When you plug in your
vehicle, it starts charging to 100% by default
unless scheduled charging has been set up
for this location. See Setting the Charging
Schedule and Preferences (page 174).
Note: Plug the connector into the wall
outlet before connecting the charge coupler
to your vehicle's charge port.
Note: When the handle is properly engaged
the light ring illuminates. This indicates the
beginning of a normal charge cycle.
Note: There could be a delay in light ring
illumination due to vehicle internal
communications.
Note: If charging for your vehicle fails,
please contact the Customer Relationship
Center, or click on Live chat. To ensure
superior service, please take note of your
serial number when contacting customer
support.
