Ford Gives Mustang Mach-E Some Charge Free of Charge
Ford announced today that buyers of its upcoming Mustang Mach-E all-electric SUV will receive up to five free “fill-ups” — 250 kilowatt hours’ worth of fast-charging electricity — at Electrify America fast-charging stations.

Ford characterizes the offer as “equal to more than five fill-ups” for models with the standard-range battery and more than three for extended-range battery models, defining each “fill-up” as using DC fast charging to charge the vehicle from 10% battery charge to 80%.
Ford estimates that Mustang Mach-E models would complete that charging period in 45 minutes when equipped with the optional extended-range battery. Models without it could charge from 10% to 80% in 38 minutes according to Ford’s estimates.
This offer is in addition to the two years of complimentary access to the FordPass Charging Network, of which Electrify America is a part. The automaker said the FordPass Charging Network is North America’s largest public charging network with more than 13,500 charging stations and almost 40,000 individual plugs.

Ford will also join forces with Amazon to offer customers home charging with the Ford Connected Charge Station. Customers can purchase wall charging units from an “electric vehicle-certified Ford dealership” or from FordParts.com starting at $799 before taxes, and Amazon will offer home charging station installation services “later this year.”
The automaker says the 48-amp home station will be able to fully charge a Mach-E with the extended-range battery overnight and every Mach-E will come standard with a Ford Mobile Charger, which is capable of charging on a 240-volt electrical outlet.
