those are 11KW charger? I was planning to plug in with mobile charger .

Apparently the ford supplied mobile charger anecdotally does not like daily use. There are reports of high failure rates. Ideally you should invest in permanent charger for the home, unless it is not allowed. doesn't matter if it is plugged in or hard wired.
FYI: There still is a federal tax credit of upto $1000 for for 30% of the cost of the charger, and installation. By code the work requires a permit.

I am now “built” and awaiting shipment. YAY!
When I bought this house last year, it already had an EV outlet installed In the garage. That finally convinced me it was time for a new, (and electric) car.

another topic here, you guys start installing the 240 V NEMA 14-50 in garage ? I know the dealer can still fuck up the deal in last mins but I am planning to install the outlet in my garage this weekend. I have all the parts, local electrician quoted 150$ for labor, which is not bad. I was about to DIY, but consider only 150$ with insurance covered, I probably just let him to do it

Due to proximity of my electrical box being on the other side of my house from the garage, and the need to trench to run the line, I was quoted $3500 for a 50amp outlet. Yikes.

I have a 240v 30amp NEMA 10-30 outlet in my laundry room, just adjacent to the garage, where my dryer is plugged in. I purchased a device from Splitvolt for $300 (https://www.splitvolt.com/product/splitvolt-nema-10-30-switch-sps/), and a BSA electronic PowerTunnel for $185 (https://www.bsaelectronics.com/prod...gh-wall-extension?_pos=1&_sid=9d38243cd&_ss=r) that allows me to install a do-it-yourself compliant connection through the connecting wall.

Finally, I purchased a splitvolt 24amp 10-30 charger for $300: (https://www.splitvolt.com/product/portable-ev-charger-nema-10-30-24-amp-26ft/)

Now, when I plug in my MachE, if the dryer is not running, it will charge. If we need to do a load of laundry, the Splitvolt will disable the EV outlet to prevent overamperage and flipping the breaker. Install going in today!

I figure 24amps will be plenty for charge my MacheE daily (we drive less than 50miles a day), while still having the benefits of L2. And I saved $3000 over the quote for a dedicated outlet.

thanks, that is the reason I bought industrial grade NEMA 14-50 outlet (Bryan 9450 RF) and Square D Qo250CP breaker and 6/3 Romex for the job , I am thinking if I have to install a wall charger later on, I will buy the plug in one which I can carry to another house couple of years later . and I might not use the mobile charge more than once a week as I usually charge them in office where there are L2 chargers for employee

I feel you pain for long reach. one thing be careful here is your house dryer outlet might not be capable for EV charging as the mobile charger is taking 32 A continually for 8 to 10 A to charge up you car. those outlet in household are not capable to handle those and it will burn (many youtube videos talk about it ). you will need a industrial grade NEMA 14-50 outlet (I bought Bryan 9450 FR, some other brand are close to 100$ these days ) and you better also get 50 A circuit breaker in panel. you current circuit breaker might be 30A only which is not enough for mobile charger. again, I am not electrician (I am indeed a PhD in electrical engineering ...lol ). my suggestion is getting licensed electrician to check out your setup.
