Ford Mustang Mach E Home Charging Tips

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E is one of the most dynamic new electric cars coming to market in 2021. In this video, we discuss how to charge the Mach-E and how long it will take depending on what equipment you use.

This video is powered by Qmerit, North America’s leading provider of installation services for EV charging, home energy storage, and other electrification technologies.

We then attempt to charge a Mach-E with seven popular home charging units, including the Tesla Wall Connector to make sure there aren't any compatibility issues.

Finally, we take a look at Ford's mobile charger that's included with the Mach-E, compare it to Tesla's mobile connector, and explain why that might be good enough to cover all of your charging needs.

Fantastic video. Just the best information. Thank you.

Thank God! Someone finally did a charge video for people who charge at home.

The more competition on EV markets the better.

wow what a blessing that I found your video because I have a tesla wall charger but I have the mustang mach-e that I just bought, I thought I had to buy a charger for my mustang and I just learned that with just one adapter I can charge it without any problem thank u.

Thank you Tom. This is a very timely and informative video. I am scheduled to receive my Mach E in March and I just added a 240v 14-50 NEMA outlet to my garage. You have convinced me to charge the vehicle with just Ford's mobile charger. Based on my expected usage the mobile charger will be more than adequate.

I have the Ford Hard Wire Connector and it's fantastic charges at 48 kwh beautifully and takes about 5 hours to get to a full charge from 50mi. So impressed with this charger and glad we installed.

Tom provides a thorough explanation of home charging options for the Mustang Mach E, very well done!

Im glad the portable is in this video as well to cover each option.

New material, informative video, accurate information. Great review. The charging aspect is one that most reviewers only briefly touch on before moving on. This breaks it down very nicely and answers a bunch of my questions.

Great video Tom for the new Ford EV owner. Easy to understand and very educational. I agree, use the home unit first to see if the higher amp unit is needed. We have just purchased our second Tesla and will be installing the Tesla unit for faster charging. Prior to the purchase, the 110 volts were sufficient. Always enjoy your non biased information and just the facts.

Thank you for the information. This is a new world for us to learn, and you make it easy to understand!

[joshuasmith]

It took me 6 days, but I have back watched all the videos and I'm currently up to date with the videos on this youtube channel.

I have learned so much from your videos. Great job!!!!

While a wall EVSE unit is not technically needed, in some places local incentives make it so you might as well buy one even if you don’t need it since it will net cost you nothing (or maybe even net you a little extra cash, as was the case for me). By having a dedicated wall mounted unit, you can just leave the mobile charger in the car and use it while traveling or have a backup in case your main EVSE acts up or malfunctions.

In Michigan where I live, the local utility provides a $500 rebate for residential EVSEs (funded through the VW Diesel-Gate settlement). Rebates like this is pretty common in other parts of the country too, I believe, though the rebate amounts may vary. In addition, everyone in the US can also get a 30% off tax credit for purchasing and installing an EVSE, assuming they have federal income tax liability (expires end of 2020; not sure if it will be extended as part of the big December funding bill going through congress). So, a $600 40 amp EVSE would not only be free, but net you a $80 (less sales tax) profit in the end.

I installed mine ahead of the Mach-E in order to be sure to qualify for the 30% federal alternative fueling tax credit before it expires. Good to see verification that I will have no problems charging the Mach-E with it (using a JuiceBox 40). Thanks Tom!

The expensive part for me was installing a new 240 volt circuit to the garage. But that would also be needed with the mobile charger in order to get reasonable speeds.

Hey Tom thanks so MUCH! I just seriously started thinking about an EV about a week ago and since then I have been devouring videos about evs. I am only half way through this video and already I have learned more in just 7 minutes than I have with the last 4 to 5 videos I have watched. I am definitely a newbie to the EV world and I needed the basics. You have provided that and more. Thanks! Clicking the SUBSCRIBE BUTTON NOW! LOL!

Tremendously helpful! Our Mach e arrives in about a month. My wife's average daily drive will comprise 30 miles at most. I was already researching, ie. looking on Amazon, for the charging station to buy. Now I realize we should do fine with just a 240 v. outlet in the garage coupled with the included adapter.

[ChaimLoecher]

Wow, Tom, great "summary" for new EV owners

[johnpoldo]

Thanks for another outstanding review. You and Sandy Monro are my go-to experts on BEVs. Hopefully when the public understands EVs better, manufacturers will properly name EV Source Equipment. For now, most only understand chargers used for their phone, tablet, and laptop.
I endorse your claim that this equipment is not a necessity for EV charging. Over the past 3 years, I’ve conveniently charged a Tesla at 3 homes using the included mobile connector running at 32-40 amps for up to 29 mi/hr.

Very informative. Please do this for the VW ID4 when you get your hands on one.

Tom, excellent video! So many Mach E owners on Facebook that has no idea about all this, I have been providing some direction on that platform but man so many have no idea .. I will direct them to this perfect video covers everything they need to learn .. again awesome video!

Also as you know we recently got the Audi eTron and the ChargePoint home “charger”, gets to see you confirm my setup is ready for the Mach E as well .. 8 weeks to get before delivery .. can’t wait !, ...

Omg Tom this line was so funny lol @ 8:10 .. omg lol 😂 good one...

Tom, the only other thing, I still have my model 3 and the Tesla wall unit I am going to get another ChargePoint unit because I want to keep track on all my charging season, plus have the ability to stop / start and schedule charging and remotely control the amps delivered etc..

also I park my cars on the outside of my garage do you know if the provided Ford charger is for indoor or outdoor uses?
