Charge speeds
Across the Ford range.
Ford spans both eras: 1 model use Type 1 and the rest use Type 2, so check your car before you buy. On-board AC charging ranges from about 3.6kW to 11kW depending on the model. A cable never charges faster than your car's on-board charger or your home supply allows, so on a standard single-phase UK home a 7.4 kW cable gives the full speed available.
Speeds are on-board AC limits. Rapid DC uses the station's own cable.

Charging guide
Charging
your Ford.
Ford's electric and plug-in hybrid range covers cars, vans, and commercial vehicles: the Mustang Mach-E, Puma Gen-E, Capri EV, Explorer EV, the Kuga PHEV, Transit and Tourneo Custom PHEVs, and a broad e-Transit van family. Nearly every current Ford uses a Type 2 inlet. The one exception is the older Focus Electric, which has a Type 1 inlet and needs a Type 2 to Type 1 cable rather than the standard Type 2 to Type 2 lead that suits the rest of the range.
AC charging speed varies across the line-up. The newer BEV models, including the Mustang Mach-E, Puma Gen-E, Capri EV, Explorer EV, and the e-Transit family, all have 11kW three-phase onboard chargers. The PHEVs charge more slowly on a single phase. Pick your model below for its exact recommended cable and charge times, or read the brand-wide guidance underneath.
What charging cable does a Ford need?
Almost every Ford plug-in vehicle uses a Type 2 inlet and takes a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The only exception is the older Focus Electric, which uses a Type 1 inlet and requires a Type 2 to Type 1 cable. If you own an earlier Focus Electric, check the charging socket on the car: Type 1 is a five-pin round connector, distinct from the seven-pin oval Type 2 used on all current Ford models.
For current Type 2 Fords, the BEV models and the Tourneo Connect PHEV all have 11kW three-phase onboard chargers. Most UK homes are single-phase, capping home AC charging at 7.4kW regardless of cable rating, so a 7.4kW cable gives the full speed a standard home supply can deliver. A 22kW cable is only worthwhile if you have a three-phase supply at home or regularly use 22kW public AC points, where these models will draw their full 11kW. No Ford currently charges at 22kW on AC.
The Kuga PHEV, Transit Custom PHEV, and Tourneo Custom PHEV are single-phase models that charge at 3.6kW to 3.7kW on AC. A 7.4kW cable is already more than any of them can draw. In short, a single 5m 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable suits every current Ford; owners of the older Focus Electric need a Type 2 to Type 1 lead instead.

Contact usDo all Fords use a Type 2 charging cable?+−
Almost all do. Every current Ford EV and PHEV uses a Type 2 inlet and takes a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The exception is the older Focus Electric, which has a Type 1 inlet and needs a Type 2 to Type 1 cable. Check your car's charging socket if you are unsure: Type 1 is a round five-pin connector.
What charging cable does a Ford Mustang Mach-E, Puma Gen-E, or e-Transit need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, 5m for most driveways. These models have 11kW three-phase onboard chargers, but on a standard single-phase UK home supply they charge at 7.4kW. A 7.4kW cable delivers the full home speed. A 22kW cable is only useful at a three-phase supply or 22kW public AC point.
What cable does the older Ford Focus Electric need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 1 cable. The Focus Electric has a Type 1 inlet on the car, so you need a cable with a Type 2 plug at the wallbox end and a Type 1 plug at the car end. It charges at 6.6kW on a single phase, so a 7.4kW rated Type 2 to Type 1 cable is well matched to it.
Can a Ford charge at 22kW AC?+−
No Ford currently charges at 22kW on AC. The BEV models and Tourneo Connect PHEV have 11kW three-phase onboard chargers, making 11kW the ceiling on a three-phase supply or 22kW public AC point. On a standard single-phase home wallbox all of them charge at 7.4kW or less.
What length cable do I need for my Ford?+−
5m suits most home wallboxes and public charge points. For van models like the e-Transit, consider where the charging inlet sits on the vehicle: a 7m cable often gives more comfortable reach if the wallbox is on the opposite side of a workshop or yard. For street parking, 7m or 10m is worth choosing.
