Just ordered my MME last week and am installing the 240 v circuit for charging. How long is the included charger cable? Are there pics and/or descriptions of it?
TIA

The Mach-E charger installation instructions states the cable is roughly 20' long.

And just in case it's not obvious, the included EVSE is the 2nd one there (mobile), not the first one.

Thanx. It took a couple readings to be sure. I think the first one is about $450. And it only gets me about 40% more miles per charging hour, even though they claim 10X, but that's compared to level 1.

It‘s actually $799 and not currently available for sale.

There's a lot of considerations for whether to go with a higher power charger or not. It's not always the "bigger is always better" assumption many make. While I did get a separate wall charger ($399 Grizzl-E) so I can just leave the included charger in the car all the time (and have it for backup), I actually dialed the setting down from it's 40A max to 24A. It's still plenty fast enough to charge the car overnight, and it lowers the demand charge on my monthly bill (some power companies tack on a surcharge for your peak power draw during the month, which a high power EVSE tends to dominate).

Oh, $799 --- that decides it!
Tried to find out if our Dominion had a TOU rate or EV rate, but found only idiots so far.

Do they have a website? Check for rebates or discounts on Level 2 EVSEs from your utility also.

40amps at 240vAC will charge you overnight, and is more battery friendly than 'super-charging' as higher current.

Or 32A, 24A, or probably even 16A most of the time.
I generally charge on 110vAC level one.... my average daily miles are under 30 miles a day so no fast charge needed
