Best Home Charger for Ford Mustang Mach-E
The Mustang Mach-E is a fully electric compact crossover SUV introduced by Ford in 2020 as a 2021 model. The Mach-E is an award-winning EV, and has beaten many of its competitors to market. The Mach-E is the first Ford based on the Global Electrified 1 (GE1) platform.
The car is available in two battery capacity options, and a choice of either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive. Entry-level Mach-Es have a capacity of 68 kWh and a 198 kW (266 hp) motor. The EPA range is estimated to be 230 miles for this variant. Upgrading the RWD cars to the extended range 88 kWh battery will max out the range to 300 miles.
Higher trim Mach-Es are available with both AWD and higher capacity batteries. Opting for two motors will have a range penalty (270 miles). Finally, the range topping GT trim is available with many visual and performance upgrades, power output is an impressive 360 kW (480 hp!) but the range is still impressive at 250 miles.
The Mustang Mach-E uses a standard J1772 / CCS connector and charging tops out at 11 kW on AC power. Below are our top home charging station recommendations for the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger (40 AMP)
The Level 2 home charger from Grizzl-E is a compelling option for EV owners looking for durability and value. It is a simple utilitarian design metal box with an LED indicator light and heavy duty construction. There are no screens or wifi connectivity options, just an industrial looking box with 40 amps of power delivery, which should translate to about 10 kW usable charging speed.
Grizzl-E is based in Canada, so their products are designed to perform in extreme weather conditions. The operating temperature range is between -22F to 122F for outdoor usage.
An excellent choice for Mach-E drivers from colder climates. This charger is available with either NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 06-50 wall connectors (check the SKU when ordering), and all variants can be hardwired by a licensed electrician.
Specs

The Wallbox Pulsar Plus is our top pick for a charger with a compact and attractive design at just 7.8″ x 7.9″ x 3.9″ in dimensions.

The 48 amp version is able to deliver up to 11.5 kW of power, cutting down charge times for Mach-E owners to just a few hours rather than overnight.
Wallbox also works great for households with multiple EVs that need to be charged simultaneously. Two or more Wallbox chargers on the same circuit can communicate between each other and balance the available household power between chargers.

Depending on when you buy your Mach-E, Ford may even give you some complimentary access to the Electrify America network.
Frequent users of Electrify America’s public network will appreciate integration of this home charger with the Electrify America app. Using a single app for managing both home and public charging is the main competitive advantage of this home charger.

Lectron 240V (40 Amp)
Lectron makes a ton of models, but this specific 40 amp charger is our favorite budget pick. Small, light and portable. But unlike most travel charging adapters, the 40 amp Lectron could be your main home charger.
There are no apps or connectivity options, but the always-on display shows you the critical information about the charging session such as: current, voltage, temperature, and charge time. Most new EVs allow you to schedule charging sessions from their infotainment system anyway.
Downsides? The warranty is only one year, and this charger is not suitable for frequent outdoor use. (especially not in extreme climates) Read full Lectron review.
Specs
- 40 amps
- 18 foot long charge cable
- Indoor operation
- NEMA 14-50 plug, no hardwiring
Pros
Great power output for a budget charger, more portable than wall mounted chargers, always on display with charge stats
Cons
Not really suitable for outdoor operation, shorter warranty than premium brands

Frequently Asked Questions about charging the Ford Mustang Mach-E
Ford includes a mobile charger with every Mach-E. This mobile connector is able to charger both over 120-volt household power, as well as Level 2 240 volts from a NEMA 14-50 plug. You could get away with only using the mobile charger, but for drivers covering many miles, we recommend leaving the mobile charger in the car for emergencies and installing a dedicated home charging station.
Yes, it’s a good idea to leave the Mach-E plugged in when it is not in use. The car will maintain the high voltage battery, this is especially important when the ambient temperatures drop below freezing. But Ford strongly recommends setting a charge limit to 80 or 90% for daily use, so the battery is not sitting at 100% charge for too long.
Mach-E comes on either 18-inch wheels and 225/60R18 tires, or 19-inch wheels with 225/55R19 tires. Section 225 tires are unusually skinny for a vehicle of this size, but these narrower tires help with aerodynamic efficiency and lower rolling resistance. The Mustang Mach-E GT comes with 20-inch wheels and wider 245/45R20 tires for higher performance. If you want maximum range, stick with the smallest diameter wheels that are offered.
The Tesla Supercharger network is exclusive to Tesla cars in North America, so you cannot charge the Mach-E on a Supercharger right now. But Superchargers are going to be opening up to other brands later in 2023. However, Level 2 home chargers (and destination) chargers can be used to charge a Ford Mach-E with a Tesla to J1772 adapter, which is commonly sold online.
Assuming a fairly average cost of 13 cents per kilowatt hour of energy, and 95% charging efficiency, it would cost around $12 to fully charge the Ford Mach-E with the larger 88 kWh battery.
