Hey guys. Just got a Mach E last week and I’m Looking for some good suggestions for a level 2 charger. Thanks!
Don't see a need for anything other than what Ford gave me free in 2021. Charges just fine 20%-95% in 10 hrs overnight @30 amps

I just ordered an Emporia. Why? I have used the Ford-provided charger for over 2 years. Then very recently it began to show the amber fault light and charging went from 7kw to 3kw. I went to the dealer and was given a warranty replacement. The internals on the new one is different based on the loud relay click when I plug it in. Once I install the Emporia I will update this post.

This info was and is incredibly helpful! I also have been using my Ford Mobile Charger as my only charger, always plugged into my NEMA 14/50 outlet, and have had the same concerns about output, reliability, etc. but didn't add it all up until reading about it and options in this forum.

I was able to get a $350 instant rebate from my utility here in the Pacific NW by purchasing it through them. My net charges/cost was $49 + tax for the Emporia charger. I could have waited for rebate approval, bought the Emporia elsewhere (for the same price including free shipping), submitted the paperwork and waited for the rebate check to arrive. The Instant Rebate was literally instantaneous approval and credit towards the purchase! So happy with my '23 Mach-E and this forum's constant flow of ideas and assistance!!

For those wondering why to switch from the Ford Mobile Charger, this thread should be interesting and useful reading:
