Charging port and connector
The Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning use the J1772 port on earlier model years and the NACS port on newer ones; Ford supplies adapters so either works with either charger.
How fast it charges at home
The Mach-E and standard-range Lightning charge at up to 48 amps (about 11 kW). The extended-range Lightning can take up to 80 amps (19.2 kW) from Ford's own charger.
Manufacturer and universal chargers
Ford's Charge Station Pro is the 80-amp unit sold with the extended-range Lightning and is the gateway to the truck's home backup power feature; it needs a 100-amp circuit. Ford also supports any hardwired or plug-in Level 2 charger.
Installation notes
Lightning owners who want home backup power need the Charge Station Pro plus the home integration system and a transfer switch. Progressive installs all of it, as a licensed electrical and generator contractor.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the Ford-branded charger?
No. The manufacturer unit works well and is a good choice if you already have it; a universal hardwired charger performs the same and often costs less.
Will my panel handle it?
Usually a 200-amp panel will; many 100-amp panels will not without load management or an upgrade. The load calculation in our assessment answers it, and we quote both options.

Joe Oliveira stopped by my home, took time to understand the problem that I was having with the unit, went back and discussed the issue with his team of experts and had a detailed work order sent to me with in a day. … Based on the experience that I have had with Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical, I will HIGHLY recommend them for HVAC install and maintenance.
