Nice little charging time graphic with different chargers

Also worth noting(since it gets asked here basically daily). Nearly all 2024 and up extended range trucks only have a 48amp ac charger on board. This means they can’t charge over 48 amps at a level 2 charger. The only exception is fleet models that can be optioned with the 80amp charger but they are unicorns.

Issue is you need 100 amps to run the 80 amp charger and most Americans can’t pull that much at once or don’t install that much capacity.

The required breaker is 100 amps

I have the 100amp breaker and set the FCSP to 80amps. Most I’ve seen at home is around 67amps.

@Peyton
Thing that bummed me out was the Chevy 32amp charger on the Blazer will not charge pass 12amp when using 120v, even if you get the 30amp RV plug (TT-30) I basically wasted my money on that plug.

@Eli
Sadly it’s the same for virtually every ev. The only exception that I’m aware of is Tesla which can charge up to 24amps on 120v.

What is the 15 amp charging :cry:

I just plugged mine into a standard outlet at 15% about an hour ago. The app is saying 100% by 3am Saturday…

It’s like 100 hours

And today is Tuesday … hahaha

Fast charging on an EA 350kw charger goes as high as 177kw on my SR truck. Most sessions to 80% are less than 25 minutes for me.

80A charging is gone now (FCSP), hardware changed to only allow 48A in 2024 and later trucks.

Good note!

Also worth mentioning that these times are 15% to 100% for the AC (and 15% to 80% for the DC.)

For daily AC charging Ford recommends 90%, which would reduce these charging times a bit.

Then consider, even with my fairly long commute, I rarely use more than 50 kWh a day. Even the ~30 amp mobile charger will charge that back up to 90% overnight no problem.

So a lot of these AC numbers are basically worst case scenario. If you have a L2 home charger you’re plugging in at night and full by morning.

The more difficult one to deal with is the DC times. You have to account for that extra hour or so every roughly 3 hours of driving on a roadtrip. It really does add up.

Shouldn’t it be 48A vs 64A (80% rule), or 60A vs 80A (breaker amperage), not 48A vs 80A? Seems misleading.

No, because you’re installing a 100A breaker to feed the 80A to the Ford Charge Station Pro.

100A breaker > 80A Charge Rate (Ford Charge Station Pro)

60A breaker > 48A Charge Rate (Ford Connected Charge Station)

@Jessie
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Didn’t realize it was a 100A breaker evse.

Still bugs me I just put in this 80 amps charger and get 40 amps max.
