You have two options for charging your electric vehicle at home. The fastest is to use a dedicated EV Home Charger. You can also plug your vehicle into a standard domestic socket using a home charging cable, but this will take longer.

You’ll need a private space, such as a garage or driveway, in order to charge your vehicle safely and away from public access. You can't link a cable from your home to your parked car on a public street. If you need to rely on public charging, use our interactive charging map to find stations near you and find out which ones you can access with the BlueOval™ charging network.

Yes, and with a growing network of public EV charging stations, powering your electric vehicle on the go is getting more and more convenient. As well as along popular motorway routes, we're seeing more and more fast charging stations in urban and suburban areas, offering a handy alternative to home charging.

With the Ford BlueOval Charging Network, you get access to more than 32,000 charging points in the UK. It's also part of a network of over 600,000 charging points across Europe.

AC and DC are two kinds of electric currents used to charge your EV. Your EV can be charged using either type of current. Which you use to charge with will depend on where you are and what kind of charge you need.

AC means "alternating current" and is typically used when charging at home or at a regular curbside charger. DC stands for "direct current" and is typically used in fast/rapid EV chargers. As a result, DC charging is considered faster than AC charging.

Fully electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions while driving. And if you charge your electric vehicle using renewable/green energy, you can reduce your CO2 impact even further.

A Wallbox is the most convenient way and is likely to be the fastest option to charge an electric vehicle at home. (Available at additional cost and installation cost). With a Wallbox installed at home, you can plug your electric car in overnight, just like your phone and could get yourself a full charge in the morning. With our specialist partners, we can assist you with the installation (at additional cost).

If you have an industrial socket outlet installed, you can charge faster than with a normal socket.

You can help use less energy to improve your electric vehicle's range between charges by making a few simple adjustments to your driving habits and practicing a few tips. Your electric vehicle already offers useful onboard features designed to help you make the most of your charge. Here are some smart tips for more efficient driving:

Making the Most of Your Charge

Warm-Up or Cool Down Your Interior with Scheduled Charging and Departure Times

Your electric vehicle features Departure Times, which will heat or cool your vehicle's interior temperature to your preference, based on when you will need it, by drawing on energy from your charger when the vehicle is plugged in. When you're ready to depart, the cabin temperature is comfortable without the need to deplete the charge from the high-voltage battery. All you need is the FordPass® App.

Stick with the Speed Limit

Try to avoid quick acceleration and hard braking since they affect range. If you brake slowly and smoothly, you can help capture more energy.

Put It in Cruise

When traffic and road conditions permit, use cruise control to help maintain a constant set speed and avoid driving at higher speeds, which can have a negative impact on your range.

More Wind and Weight = Less Range

Have a cargo carrier or roof-mounted bike rack? They're convenient but can decrease range. Skip them and you can reduce energy use.

Reduce A/C and Heater Usage

Climate control use during hot or cold outside temperatures will adversely affect the driving range of an electric vehicle. To help reduce the impact heating and cooling systems have on range, electric vehicles can be preconditioned ahead of departure while the car is still charging. The desired cabin temperature can be achieved without using energy from the battery, thus preserving range. This can be done through the FordPass App and, in all-electric models, inside the vehicle itself.

Look After Your All-Electric Vehicle

Remember to keep up with your scheduled maintenance and the latest software updates. Being diligent can help optimize your electric vehicle's performance, and having the latest rollout of software keeps your vehicle's system optimized.

The range of your vehicle will vary depending on many different factors. These include the weather, how you drive it, or the terrain that you typically drive on. The best thing is to check the range specifics for your vehicle on our website.

Charging your electric vehicle will cost more or less depending on a few things. AC charging will be cheaper, particularly at home, as slower charging options tend to be more economical and cost-effective. DC rapid chargers will cost more but have the benefit of a faster charge.

With Ford, you’ll get access to the BlueOval™ Charging Network for charging on the go. Subscribing to the Ionity Premium subscription will give you reduced prices when charging at Ionity. If you mostly charge your vehicle at home, there are specialist energy tariffs available for EV users. These may include discount rates overnight, so you can charge your vehicle cheaper at a more convenient time. It's worth looking around to find a tariff that suits you.

Yes, some supermarkets and other stores have charging stations that can be used for free while you're shopping. Some workplaces also offer free charging in their parking areas.

All Ford Electric vehicles comes with a Public AC (Mode 3) charge cable as standard.

You will need to use the charging equipment supplied in line with the instructions provided in the owner's manual.

The term 'kWh' simply means a unit of measurement. When you drive an electric car, its batteries store electricity measured in kWh, which depletes as you drive.

Meanwhile 'kW', or 'kilowatt', refers to the power rating of charging points. The higher the kW rating, the faster it'll charge your vehicle.
