I am sure a more technical person has answered this, but still finding my way around, I have a dedicated circuit, 50amp and the dryer style wall socket already set in a new build home, are the chargers Ford is suggesting able to just plug into this or are they hard wired? Any thoughts will be appreciated

The one that comes with the car should be able to plug into that dryer socket.

Can you post a picture of the socket? Preferably a close up.

If it's an electric range style outlet, it's likely NEMA 14-50, so the included Ford mobile charger will plug right in. Dryer's typically use NEMA 14-30, but if your breaker is 50A, that's not likely what you have.

Also the NEMA 6-50
