What connector does a Ford Mustang Mach-E have?
The Mustang Mach-E uses a CCS-based inlet: CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS2 in Europe, with the same port handling both DC fast charging and AC charging. In North America, the system also accommodates the J1772 AC charging plug for Level 2 charging.
Regional connector standards
The Mach-E uses a single, combined charging inlet that adapts to regional standards. Here is how it breaks down by market.
North America
Key points for the U.S. and Canada:
- Connector type: CCS Combo 1 inlet (the CCS plug includes the J1772 AC pins in the same port)
- DC fast charging: Supports CCS DC fast charging on public networks, up to about 150 kW under optimal conditions
- AC charging: Uses the J1772 Type 1 plug for Level 2 charging on 240V circuits
- Port location: Front-left area behind a small hatch
Conclusion: In North America, Mach-E owners can charge using CCS DC fast charging and J1772 Level 2 AC charging through the same inlet.
Europe and other markets
Key points for Europe and other regions:
- Connector type: CCS2 inlet (Type 2 for AC charging) within the same CCS port
- DC fast charging: Supports CCS2 DC fast charging on public networks
- AC charging: Type 2 charging for Level 2 charging, aligned with European standards
- Port location: Front-area inlet, similar design to the North American version
Conclusion: In Europe, the Mach-E uses CCS2 for both DC fast charging and Type 2 AC charging via the same port.
What this means for charging at home and on the road
Because the Mach-E uses a CCS-based inlet, drivers can access a wide network of CCS DC fast chargers on highways and in urban areas across supported regions. Home charging in North America typically leverages the J1772 Level 2 standard, while European homes can use Type 2 Level 2 charging depending on the local electrical setup. The single inlet design simplifies charging across networks and markets.
Additional notes
Ford’s hardware choice reflects the industry-wide move toward CCS as the dominant standard for fast charging. Always verify the maximum charging rate supported by your specific Mach-E trim and the capabilities of local charging equipment, as charging times and network availability can vary.
Summary
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is equipped with a CCS-based charging inlet: CCS Combo 1 in North America with J1772 compatibility for AC charging, and CCS2 in Europe with Type 2 compatibility for AC charging. The same port handles both DC fast charging and regular AC charging, providing broad network access across regions.
