Charging at home -- more practical than most East Kootenay drivers expect. A Level 2 home charger runs on a standard 240V outlet -- the same type used for a clothes dryer -- and can be installed on most BC rural properties. For most East Kootenay driving patterns, overnight home charging provides more than enough range for the next day. This guide covers your options, what installation involves, and the Ford Pro charging support programme for home setup.
Charging your Ford electric or hybrid vehicle is simple, convenient, and designed to fit your lifestyle. Whether you prefer to charge at home, at work, or on the road, Ford makes it easy to stay powered wherever life takes you.
