The maximum speed and acceleration of these models vary, depending on the equipment and characteristics. All models are characterised by high energy efficiency and advanced battery technology, which allows you to get maximum mileage with minimum energy consumption.

What connectors does the Ford Mustang Mach-E use?

The Ford Mustang Mach-E uses two main types of charging connectors to ensure the convenience and speed of charging the vehicle.

• Type 2 (AC)AC: This is the AC charging connector that is most commonly found at household and public charging stations. This connector delivers up to 11 kW of charging power to the Ford Mustang Mach-E, which is standard on most AC chargers. You can use this connector for charging at home or at work if suitable charging stations are available.
• CCS (DC)DC: This is a DC charging connector that allows you to quickly charge your vehicle at specialised charging stations. It is a fast charging connector that delivers up to 150 kW of power, which significantly reduces charging time. Such charging stations are mainly located on major roads and in large cities.

How to charge a Ford Mustang Mach-E in Ukraine?

Charging the Ford Mustang Mach-E is quite simple and convenient. The charging socket is located on the front left side of the vehicle, next to the front wheel. If you are using a public charging station, you will need to register with the station's network or download the appropriate app for payment and access.

In Ukraine, both standard AC and DC charging stations are available, allowing you to choose the most suitable option for each situation. Depending on your charging speed needs, you can use either slower home chargers or fast charging stations in public places.

How long does it take to charge the Ford Mustang Mach-E?

The charging time for the Ford Mustang Mach-E depends on several factors, including the type of charging station, the size of your model's battery, and the temperature and condition of the battery. There are different types of charging stations available in Ukraine, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Here is how the charging time is distributed for different types of stations.

Standard socket (Schuko/Europlug)

This is the slowest charging option, which can be done using a standard household outlet that can be found in any household in Ukraine. To do this, you will need a special adapter that will allow you to connect your Ford Mustang Mach-E to a regular outlet. Charging through a standard outlet is used in emergency cases when there is no access to more powerful chargers.

Full charge time

Charging via a standard wall outlet (2.2-2.3 kW) takes 36 to 40 hours for a 75.7 kWh battery and 48 to 52 hours for a 98.8 kWh battery. This is the slowest charging method, so it is mainly used to maintain a charge on the road or to recharge at night when the car is not in use.

Charger 3.6 kW

3.6 kW chargers are quite popular for home use and can also be installed in workplaces. This is a more efficient option than a standard wall outlet, but still not fast enough to provide a quick charge in a short time.

Full charge time

Charging via the 3.6 kW charger takes 21 to 27 hours to fully charge. This option can be convenient if you are not in a hurry and just need to charge your car overnight or during the working day.

7 kW charger

The 7 kW chargers are already fast enough to be used at home and at work. They provide significantly faster charging than previous versions and are ideal for regular use at home or at work.

Full charge time

Charging via 7 kW, the device takes 11 to 14 hours to fully charge. This is the best option for overnight charging or when the vehicle is stationary during the working day.

Fast charging (50 kW)

The 50 kW charging stations use direct current and are popular for fast charging at public stations. They can charge the battery much faster than standard AC chargers.

Full charge time

Charging via a 50 kW station takes between 1.5 and 2 hours to fully charge. This is ideal for charging on the go, especially for long-distance journeys.

Ultra-fast charging (100-150 kW)

Ultra-fast charging stations are the most powerful options for charging electric vehicles. They can charge a vehicle up to 80% in a short time, making them ideal for long-distance journeys or quick recharges on the go.

Full charge time

Charging through an Ultra Fast Station takes 36 to 54 minutes to reach 80%. For charging to 100%, the time may increase slightly due to the reduced speed after reaching 80% to avoid overloading the battery.

Where can I charge my Ford Mustang Mach-E in Ukraine?

There are several main ways to charge your Ford Mustang Mach-E in Ukraine: at home, at work, and at public charging stations. Each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on your needs and circumstances.

Charging at home

Charging at home is the most convenient option for regular use, as you can charge your car at any time without having to spend extra time looking for charging stations. To do this, you need to purchase a special charger that allows you to charge your electric car through a standard outlet or install a charging station with a higher capacity.

Advantages:

• Convenience: The ability to charge your car right at home without having to spend time looking for charging stations.
• Cost-effectiveness: Using nighttime electricity tariffs can significantly reduce the cost of charging.
• Accessibility: Charging is available at any time of the day without having to leave home or find public charging stations.

Disadvantages:

• Slow charging process: Due to the limited capacity of standard power outlets, charging can take a considerable amount of time (33 to 49 hours for a full charge).
• The need for special equipment: To charge faster, you need to install additional equipment (charging station).
• Limited capacity: Charging via a standard socket or even a 3.6 kW charging station can be slow, especially for fully charging large batteries.

Charging at work

An increasing number of employers in Ukraine are installing electric car charging stations on their premises, which allows them to charge their cars during the working day. This is a convenient option for those who spend a lot of time at work and want to charge their car while it is parked at the workplace.

Advantages:

• Convenience for those who work: You can leave your car charging while you work, saving you the trouble of finding a charging station at another time.
• Speed: Many employers install chargers with a capacity of 7 kW or 22 kW, which allows for a much faster charge compared to charging at home.
• Opportunity to save money: Depending on the conditions at your workplace, there may be free or discounted charging available for employees.

Disadvantages:

• Not always available: Not all businesses and offices have charging stations, and in some cases, you'll need to check with them to see if they do.
• Time constraints: If your work shift does not allow you to leave your vehicle for long periods of time, you may not have enough time to fully charge it, even if a charging station is available.

Public charging stations

Public charging stations are a great option for those who are on the go or unable to charge their car at home. In Ukraine, the number of public charging stations for electric cars is growing, and you can find them in large cities, at petrol stations, near shopping centres and other popular locations.

Advantages:

• Fast charging: Fast chargers with a capacity of up to 50 kW are often available at public stations, which can significantly reduce charging time (from 1.5 to 2 hours).
• Mobility: Charging is available at many points, including on highways and in public places, making it convenient for long-distance travel.
• Free or reduced tariffs: Some charging stations in Ukraine offer free or reduced charging, especially in partner networks.

Disadvantages:

• Different tariffs: Charging costs may vary depending on the station operator, location and network access. Some networks charge a connection fee or have time limits.
• The need for additional applications: To access some public charging stations, you need to register in special apps or have a network card, which can be inconvenient for some users.
• Restricted access: Public charging stations may be occupied by other users, which can create some difficulties when scheduling charging times.
