AC and DC charging ?

[Side Show Bob]

Hi Guys! I have a questions in regards to charging . I have only charge my Mache at home. I have not used a DC fast charger . So is it ok to AC charge at home to 100%? And not sure about DC ? 80% or 90%? Thank you.

Ford does not give a recommended percentage to charge to, except to say don't charge to more than 90% daily for better battery performance over it's lifetime.

The closer to 50% you can keep the battery the better in the long run. If you can get by with 80% daily or 70%, then do that. Going on a road trip, charge to 100% as needed.

DC charge just enough to get to the next charger + your acceptable buffer. Charging slows down after 80% so it usually makes for a faster trip if you charge to <=80% and move on.

Yes, as long as you only charge to 100% occasionally.

DC to 80-90% is fine, it slows way down at 80% though so there isn't usually much point staying to charge past that (I always leave at 80%).
