Whether you plan to install a wall charger at home or use public charging stations, keeping your Mach-E’s battery topped up is easy and convenient.
The charging port is on the left side of the car, ahead of the driver’s door. Press on the center right edge to release it. A light above the port will illuminate when the door opens, helping you plug the charging cable in.
The charge status indicator light to the right of the charge port helps track the charging status of your vehicle. When your vehicle is charging, the light indicates the status of your charge. Each of the five segments represent 20% charge.
Installing a home charger is the most convenient way to ensure your Mach-E is ready to go when you are. It enables you to use your Mach-E’s charging schedule and cabin conditioning features.
Public charging stations are a fast and convenient way to top up while you’re out. You can find your nearest charging station through SYNC and connect to it using the cable connected to the charging station.
If equipped, your Mach-E comes with a charging cable too. You’ll find it in the storage compartment under the floor in the trunk.

Outside temperatures play an important role in battery performance. When temperatures are very low or very high, keep your vehicle plugged in (to AC charging). This enables the system to maintain the high-voltage battery for best performance.
Ending the charge at 100% will maximize the driving range for your next trip. Ending the charge at 80% or lower will help to preserve the health of the high-voltage battery. Charge rates are significantly slower above 80% state of charge.
It’s worth noting that the system could reduce DC fast charging rates to preserve the battery. This is based on battery temperature, battery state of charge and battery health.
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 allows the battery to warm up and improve the charging rate. 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.
