Ford Mustang Mach-E Charging Cable
Quick recommendation
Every UK Ford Mustang Mach-E has an 11 kW three phase onboard charger, on every battery and every model year. The 10.5 kW figure that turns up on forums and spec sites is the North American number, and it does not apply to cars sold here. What matters far more than either figure is the size of the pack behind it. With up to 91 kWh usable, the Mach-E holds more energy than almost anything else on this site, and that changes which cables are actually useful rather than merely compatible.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E charging cable you need is a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable. Ford puts the inlet on the nearside front wing, just ahead of the driver's door on a UK car, so the lead approaches from the front corner rather than the rear.
Order the 32A single phase cable for home. That 11 kW rating assumes three phases arriving at the building, and a British house has one, so the car settles at 7.4 kW on a domestic wallbox and the 32A single phase lead carries every watt of it. The 22 kW three phase cable is the exception worth knowing about here: at a workplace or commercial site with a genuine three phase supply, a Mach-E really can pull its full 11 kW and an Extended Range car drops from 14 hours to 9 hours 15 minutes. Buy it for that, and only for that.
The 16A cable does not belong on this car. It caps the Mach-E at 3.7 kW, which turns an Extended Range charge into 27 hours 45 minutes and halves recovery to about 15 miles an hour. Twenty seven and three quarter hours is not a home charge, it is a weekend project.
The 3-pin option needs an honest warning on a car this size. Our Type 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable takes 2.3 kW from a 13 amp socket, about 9 miles an hour, so it will never fill a 91 kWh battery in any sensible timeframe. What it does do is add 70 to 90 miles across a night parked at a hotel or a friend's house, which on a car with this much range is usually all you need to get home. Our guide covers what a domestic socket realistically delivers.
Ford's newer electric SUV is covered on the Ford Explorer charging cable page, and the small one on the Ford Puma Gen-E charging cable page. The whole range sits under Ford EV charging cables, and our IP ratings guide explains what the sealing figures below cover.
same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm applies to every lead here. Each one is built to IEC 62196 Type 2 and holds CE certification, works between -30C and +50C, or +60C for the 3-pin, and comes with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty. Type 2 to Type 2 is rated IP55 and the Type 2 to 3-Pin cable is IP67.

All wheel drive cars sit a little below the rear wheel drive range figures, at around 342 miles for the Extended Range. Both cold weather and sustained high speeds cut this figure.
Ford Mustang Mach-E Charging Cable FAQs
What cable does a Ford Mustang Mach-E need?
A 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable is the one to get for a Ford Mustang Mach-E at home. The car is rated at 11 kW, which is a three phase figure, and a British house supplies 7.4 kW of that, which the 32A lead carries in full.
Is the Ford Mustang Mach-E 10.5kW or 11kW on AC?
UK Ford Mustang Mach-E cars are 11 kW. The 10.5 kW number comes from North American specification sheets and gets copied onto British listings, but it makes no practical difference at home, where both would be held to 7.4 kW by the supply rather than by the car.
Do I need the 22kW cable for a Ford Mustang Mach-E?
Only if you regularly charge the Ford Mustang Mach-E somewhere with a real three phase supply, such as a workplace or an industrial unit. There it takes an Extended Range car from 14 hours to 9 hours 15 minutes. On a house it delivers precisely what the cheaper 32A single phase cable delivers.
How long does a Ford Mustang Mach-E take to charge at home?
About 14 hours from empty for the 91 kWh Extended Range on a 32A cable, 11 hours for the 72.6 kWh Select and 10 hours 45 minutes for the 70 kWh Standard Range. In practice almost nobody arrives home empty, and an overnight cheap rate window puts back 200 miles or more on the bigger packs.
What cable length suits a Ford Mustang Mach-E?
The inlet is on the nearside front wing and the car is 4.7 metres long, so 5m is fine when the wallbox sits near the front of a driveway on that side. If the unit is by the garage door behind the car, or the Mach-E shares the space with a second vehicle, take the 10m.
Is a 3-pin cable any use on a Ford Mustang Mach-E?
Yes, as backup rather than as a charging method. A 3-pin lead gives a Ford Mustang Mach-E about 9 miles of range an hour, so a full charge is out of the question, but a night on a household socket away from home still returns 70 to 90 miles.
