Sorry for what is probably a dumb question. I got what seems like lucky and found and purchased the exact Mach-E I wanted, in the exact color (well, not the exact color; if it were still available I would have ordered one in infinite blue) right on a local dealer’s lot.
So far I’ve been using the 120-volt outlet in the garage to charge, but am getting a 240-volt, NEMA 14-50 outlet installed next week, to use with the other plug that comes with the Mach-E charger. (Not currently planning on adding an EV charging station, since the charging times from just the 240-volt outlet are fine for my situation.)
I’ve already found the Mach-E charger works fine on my wife’s Fusion Energi while plugged into the 120-volt outlet, enabling us to not have to plug and unplug the separate chargers.
The Fusion can use 240-volt power, but at a lower amp draw. So my question is, using the Mach-E charger on the Fusion while it’s plugged into a 240-volt, 50-amp outlet won’t cause any damage, will it? My assumption is that the Fusion just won’t pull more amps than it needs, same as when they tell us we can plug our 30-amp RV into 50-amp outlets while camping.
Thanks!
