How Do I Charge My Ford EV Near Fresno, CA?

Charging a Ford EV is straightforward and designed around your routine. As your Ford dealership near Fresno, we help you choose home equipment, connect your vehicle to the BlueOval™ Charge Network and use the FordPass® app so power is always a tap away.

Most drivers plug in where they sleep and wake up with the range they need; on road trips, fast chargers along major routes can add miles quickly while you stretch your legs. The process is familiar, contactless and often easier than visiting a gas station -- no lines, no pump screens, just plug in, relax and go.

At-Home Charging Solutions

The Ford Power Promise™ reflects the brand's commitment to simple, reliable charging. For daily life, at-home charging for your Ford electric SUV or truck is the most convenient way to keep your vehicle ready.

Here's a quick start guide for home charging:

  • Choose your charger: Use the included Mobile Power Cord on a standard 120V outlet for light daily needs, or install a 240V Level 2 solution like the Ford Connected Charge Station (or Charge Station Pro for select models) for much faster charging.

  • Park and plug in: Insert the charge connector until it clicks. Your vehicle's charge indicators confirm that charging has started.

  • Set a schedule in FordPass®: Pick your preferred charge times and departure times to precondition the cabin and take advantage of off-peak electric rates when available.

  • Let it charge overnight: Most drivers wake up with a full battery, no extra stops required.

  • Unplug and go: Press the button on the connector, remove the plug and close the charge door.

Tips:

  • Have a licensed electrician install any 240V equipment on a dedicated circuit.

  • Use Charge Limit and Departure Times in the app to manage costs and battery health.

  • If your vehicle supports Plug & Charge, it works automatically with compatible public stations; no extra steps are needed when enabled.

Electric Car Charging Stations

The BlueOval™ Charge Network gives Fresno Ford drivers access to a large and growing collection of public chargers -- including many DC Fast Charging stations -- located along major highways and routes. Fast chargers are ideal for road trips or quick top-offs, while Level 2 stations work well for longer stops.

How to charge in public:

  • Navigate to a station using FordPass® or your in-vehicle navigation.

  • Pull up, select the correct connector and plug in.

  • Start the session with Plug & Charge where available, or use FordPass® to begin and pay right from your phone.

  • Monitor speed, estimated time and battery status on your vehicle screen or in the app. For the quickest stops, charge to about 80% before continuing.

  • When finished, end the session in the app if needed, unplug and you are on your way.
