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.

How Do I Charge My Electric Vehicle?

Our new Ford EVs in Clovis, such as the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, offer convenient charging solutions to make ownership as seamless as possible. Plug in where you park overnight, then top off on the go when you need it.

With smart tools from Ford, charging can be just as quick and predictable as a stop for gas -- often easier, because most of your energy comes from home while you sleep.

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.
