Which Charging Cable Should I Get for My Ford EV?
If you drive a Ford Mustang Mach-E, E-Transit, or one of Ford’s growing line-up of electric vehicles, having the right charging cable is essential. While rapid DC chargers use built-in cables, everyday charging at home, at work, or at public AC charge points require a separate Type 2 charging cable.
In this guide, we’ll explain exactly which charging cable works best with Ford EVs, covering connector types, charging speeds, and cable lengths.

Which Charging Connector Does a Ford EV Use?
All Ford electric vehicles in the UK are fitted with a Type 2 charging port for AC charging, and a CCS (Combined Charging System) connector for rapid DC charging.
-
Type 2 to Type 2 cable – required for untethered home wall boxes and public AC charge points.
-
Single-phase (7.4kW) or three-phase (11–22kW) – depending on your charging setup.
-
3-pin to Type 2 cable – useful for occasional or back up slower charging from a household plug.
-
Rapid charging (CCS) – no cable needed, as these are tethered to the charger.
What Cable Length Should I Choose?
The right length depends on your charging situation:
-
5m cable – ideal for driveways and garages where the charger is close.
-
7m cable – offers more flexibility for most UK homes.
-
10m or 15m cable – best for on-street charging, awkward parking setups, or larger electric vehicles where extra reach is needed.

How Fast Can a Ford EV Charge?
-
Home charging (7.4kW wall box): 0–100% in 8–12 hours (depending on battery size).
-
Fast charging (11kW-22kW, 3-phase): 0–100% in anywhere from 2–8 hours (depending on battery size, model ect).
-
Public rapid charging (up to 150kW CCS): 10–80% in 20–40 minutes.
This makes Ford’s electric range practical for both daily commutes and long road trips.
