Connectors

[Chuck518]

I have a new Ford Mustang Mach-E and I have been happy with it for short trips around town. I am now planning a longer trip and I used my FordApp to plan the trip. It found me a DC Fast charging station in Albany, NY (Electrify America - Walmart Supercenter, 141 Washington Ave.). However, the website https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html#/station/169948 says that the only connectors this station accepts are CHAdeMO and CCS, not the J1772 that came with my vehicle! Are there adapters available?

The Mach-E uses CCS1 which is a combined J1772 interface with 2 extra DC pins. CCS allows for DC charging whereas J1772 is just AC and is the top half of the charge inlet.

Also check out this thread for how to use your charging credit at Electrify America stations. It also has some good details on charging in general. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/how-to-enable-plug-charge-in-7-steps.3094/

CCS is a superset of J1772 and includes DC Fast Charge. J1772 is AC only. The MME accepts a CCS connector. There is a cover over the two DCFC pins in the car’s charge port. Flip it down and the CCS connector mates perfectly.

Thank you for this! So, I do not need to buy any special adapter. What does "MME" stand for?

You don't need an adapter. MME stands for Mustang Mach-E.

You may want to watch this to familiarize yourself with the charging capabilities of your car.
