For anyone that's looking for a new electric vehicle, charging and charge times are always a top priority. Fortunately, the charge times Ford is saying for the Mach E are very impressive.

On Ford's electric vehicles website, they say that the Mach E, "can charge an estimated average of 47 miles of range in approximately ten minutes, and from 10-80% in 45 minutes." Those numbers are with a 150kW DC fast charger.

There won't be a shortage of places to charge since the FordPass charging network will have over 12,000 charging stations in North America.

At home, the Mach E comes with a Ford Mobile Charger. When plugged into a 240-volt outlet it can add an estimated range of 22 miles per charging hour and when plugged into a 120-vol outlet it can add an estimated 3 miles per charging hour.

Wasn't some type of speciality home fast charger mentioned that could add 30+ miles per hour, too?

From what I can see you're right @benboy12, there's going to be an available " Ford Connected Charge Station" that's 48-amps and " can fully power a vehicle overnight while they sleep, adding an estimated average range of 32 miles per charging hour."

Mike Levine, Ford North America Product Communications manager, tweeted out some information that confirms what the Mustang Mach-E's home charging will be like.

These leaked images from Ford's website confirm that you can get 47 miles of range in 10 minutes with a 150 kW DC Fast Charger.

Ford released a graphic explaining the recharge times for the Mach E on level 1 charging, level 2 charging, and DC charging. The metric of "miles of range per hour of charging" may be more intuitive to people than kWh per hour, especially if this is their first EV and they are just starting.

There are also getting to be a lot of hotels / motels that have Tesla Destination Stations installed in their parking lots.
With a TeslaTap adapter ($179) you will be able to charge while staying over night at the same charge rate as the Ford
connected Charge Station --- 48 Amps / 11.5KW or 32 miles /Hr and leave in the morning with a full 99 KWH / 300 + mile range.

I have used this adapter on my 2019 Leaf SL+ with the Tesla Destination Stations and it works great.

Are there other level 2 chargers that can deliver the same or better charging than the Ford Connected Charge Station?

Just be sure that you have a 60 amp breaker, not the more common 50 amp, if you install a L2 charger that takes 48 amps. And, if you have more than one L2 running at the same time, you might want 200 amp service at your house, not the more common 100 amp service. I'm upgrading my house now, because I had 100 amp.

Newer houses often have 200 amp service already, of course.
